LONDON - Donald Trump will come to the United Kingdom for his first official state visit June 3.

"We do more together than any two nations in the world and we are both safer and more prosperous because of our cooperation.
"The State Visit is an opportunity to strengthen our already close relationship in areas such as trade, investment, security and defence, and to discuss how we can build on these ties in the years ahead."
Plans for a full state visit were put on hold last year after large protests across the country.
The House of Commons speaker John Bercow said he would ban Trump from speaking in the Houses of Parliament, due to the US President's "racism and to sexism and our support for equality before the law."
Trump instead took part in a brief "working visit" last June.
Opposition politicians criticised plans for the visit.
"Deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic, Donald Trump is no friend of Britain," Labour MP David Lammy tweeted.
"He is not fit to hold public office, let alone worthy of our country's highest honours and a banquet with the Queen. Theresa May is selling out the UK to a serial liar and a cheat."
