But Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said the UK should offer"the best possible welcome" to the president. The state visit will take place from 3 to 5 June. 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.
