Trump was not granted a joint address of parliament during his first state visit in 2019, unlike Barack Obama in 2011. Some Londoners took to the streets to protest his trip, and a giant balloon of him looking like a baby was flown near parliament.<\/a><\/p>\n

British allies include Reform UK\u2019s Nigel Farage and senior Tory MP Suella Braverman have insisted parliament should be recalled<\/a> to hear from the president this time around.<\/p>\n

The U.S. president instead said his aim during the September 17-19 trip<\/a> was to \u201chave a good time and respect King Charles, because he\u2019s a great gentleman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump also brushed of suggestions that the British monarch\u2019s move to open the Canadian parliament in May<\/a> was a show of solidarity with Ottawa amid Trump\u2019s threats toward the U.S. neighbor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t view it as anything,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThey\u2019re wrapped up with Canada. So what\u2019s he going to do? He has no choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite supporting Brexit, the U.S. president also said Britain\u2019s departure from the EU had \u201cbeen on the sloppy side, but I think it\u2019s getting straightened out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trump was not granted a joint address of parliament during his first state visit in 2019, unlike Barack…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1743,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1326,934,625,626,141,59,57,58,421,50,633,423,56,54,158,55,637],"class_list":["post-1742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-barack-obama","tag-brexit","tag-british-politics","tag-canada","tag-donald-trump","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-lindsay-hoyle","tag-news","tag-nigel-farage","tag-parliament","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-united-states","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-westminster-bubble"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1742\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
