US president Donald Trump declared the trip will be a “momentous occasion” in a post on his Truth Social site, adding that there would be “a beautiful Banquet Dinner” at the White House on the evening of April 28.
He also revealed the “historic state visit” will take place over four days from April 27-30, despite Buckingham Palace deciding not to release the exact dates in its own official announcement.
“I look forward to spending time with the King, whom I greatly respect. It will be TERRIFIC!,” Mr Trump added.
