Starmer – Trump meeting in Scotland
At the same time, British Prime Minister’s spokesman Kir Starmer said today (14.07.2025) that “the White House has confirmed that President Trump will pay a private visit to Scotland later this month.”
“Since this is a private visit, there will be no official bilateral meeting, but the prime minister was happy to meet the president during his stay,” he added.
Trump will pay an official visit to the United Kingdom on September 17-19, at the invitation of King Charles. He will be accompanied by his wife, Melania, and will be admitted to the Windsor Tower, west of London, as announced by Buckingham Palace.
Trump is particularly unpopular in Britain: According to a recent Yougov Institute poll, only 16% of British have a positive view of the US president, compared to 70% with a negative opinion.
Charles’ invitation was handed over on February 27, Prime Minister Starmer, when he visited the White House in front of television cameras. Trump, excited about the “great honor”, released his content, describing Charles as a “wonderful man”.
The invitation reported neither a specific date nor a location, referring only to a first, unofficial meeting in Scotland, Balmoral or Dabris Chaos, a historic 18th -century country villa and an “official visit” on a later date, but immediately.
According to The Times, the British prime minister was the one who pressured Charles to address the invitation, with the aim of taking Britain to admire the American president for the royal family.
The palaces initially had reservations, due to Trump’s threat to annex Canada, as the leader of the Canadian state is Charles. Official visits to Britain are organized on the proposal of the government.
