The pair reportedly rekindled their unlikely friendship during Donald Trump‘s UK visit in 2019. As previously reported by People, the First Lady wrote last year: “As we bid farewell to Her Majesty, we extended a cordial invitation for her return visit to the United States.
“She expressed her gratitude with a warm smile. Sadly, Her Majesty wasn’t able to visit with us again before her death in 2022, but our friendship with the Royal Family continues, and we exchange letters with King Charles to this day.”
It has previously reported that the long-haul trip would take place to revitalise a key trade deal which had been put on “pause” by President Donald Trump.
But following Trump’s recent tariff threats over Greenland, Sir Keir Starmer is coming under growing pressure to call off the King’s state visit to the US, as it’s the Government that decides where members of the Royal Family travel to, not the Palace.
All abroad trips are conducted on the advice of the Foreign Office.
He said: “The civilised world can deal with Trump no longer. He is a gangster pirate.”
The comment came as the US president has alarmed NATO partners, saying that countries opposing an American takeover of the Danish territory could face sweeping trade penalties within weeks.
