In mid-September, US President Donald Trump will be visiting the UK and meeting with British officials. But one thing he won't be doing on his trip is addressing Parliament. The date of the US president's trip is being deliberately timed for mid-September when there is a parliamentary recess, handing the UK an excuse for not offering the speech. Mr. Trump is also expected not to visit Buckingham Palace or enjoy a ceremonial carriage ride down the Mall in London " features of many past state visits from world leaders." Earlier this year, Trump met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer during his visit to the US. The Labor government under Starmer have concerns that Labor MPs could protest a joint address to Parliament, possibly by staying away en masse, causing potential embarrassment to Mr. Trump. French President Emmanuel Macron addressed the UK Parliament when he was in London in early July. Link:
