US President Donald Trump will make a three-day state visit to the UK from 3 to 5 June, Buckingham Palace has announced.
The president and First Lady Melania Trump will be guests of the Queen and attend a ceremony in Portsmouth to mark 75 years since the D-Day landings.
He will also have official talks with the prime minister at Downing Street.
Mr Trump previously met the Queen at Windsor Castle when he came to the UK in July 2018 on a working visit.
The White House said the upcoming trip would reaffirm the "steadfast and special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom".
The president was promised a state visit by Prime Minister Theresa May after he was elected in 2016 - but no date was set.
Mrs May said June's state visit was 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".
But shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry voiced concerns about the visit, saying: "It beggars belief that on the very same day Donald Trump is threatening to veto a United Nations resolution against the use of rape as a weapon of war, Theresa May is pressing ahead with her plans to honour him with a state visit to the UK."

” trip would reaffirm the “steadfast and special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom”.”
Yeah, so special and close that their intelligence services even participate in our elections.
I don’t like the security risk; I wish he’d skip it.
Given the surge in the polls of Nigel Farage’s Brexit party
and how well I believe they will do in the EU vote, this will be great timing.
Trump and Farage are friends,and by then the Labor and Tory’s will suffer a major defeat.
The reason for that is the UN is piggybacking a lot of SJW crap onto the resolution about "reproductive and sexual health" — which probably translates to stuffing abortion, birth control, and LGBTQ abuses down the throats of vulnerable populations.
