Usually, correspondence written by the King is not made public, but Donald Trump held up the letter in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

The letter, which was inviting him to the UK for a historic second state visit, was handed to him by UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.<\/p>\n

Here is what we are able to make out from photos.<\/p>\n

In the opening paragraph, the King references the “breadth of challenges across the world”, and says the UK and the US have “a vital role to play”.<\/p>\n

He goes on to say that he remembers “with great fondness” Mr Trump’s visits to the UK during his “previous presidency”.<\/p>\n

The King mentions Mr Trump visiting the golf course the US president owns in Turnberry and then appears to suggest a visit to Balmoral or Dumfries House in Scotland at some stage – estates owned or run by the monarch.<\/p>\n

He writes: “There is much on both Estates which I think you might find interesting and enjoy – particularly as my Foundation at Dumfries House provides hospitality skills-training for young people who often end up as staff in your own establishments!<\/p>\n

“Quite apart from this presenting an opportunity to discuss a wide range of issues of mutual interest, it would also offer a valuable chance to plan a historic second State Visit to the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

“As you will know, this is unprecedented by a US president. That is why I would find it helpful for us to be able to discuss, together, a range of options for location and programme content.<\/p>\n

“In so doing, working together, I know we will further enhance the special relationship between our two countries, of which we are both so proud.”<\/p>\n
