The prime minister's spokesperson said: “The President of the United States will visit the UK on 13 July. He will hold bilateral talks with the Prime Minister during his visit. Further details will be set out in due course.”
Trump will visit the UK after attending a NATO summit in Brussels. Rather than being greeted with the pomp and circumstance of a state visit, this will be a working visit.
