Trump lining up UK visit
US president Donald Trump will travel to Britain in early December for a Nato summit, the White House has confirmed
The president and his wife Melania will be in the UK from December 2-4 as the general election campaign intensifies.
The summit will feature a reception hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
Mr Trump has faced large-scale demonstrations on his two previous visits to London as US president.
He has regularly expressed concern that many Nato members are not providing sufficient financial support for the military alliance.
A White House statement said: “President Trump looks forward to meeting with the other Nato heads of state and government to review the alliance’s unprecedented progress on burden-sharing, including adding more than $100 billion on new defence spending since 2016.”
