President Trump is now set to meet Queen Elizabeth II during his long-planned initial visit to England next month.
U.S. ambassador to England Woody Johnson told SkyNews the president and queen will meet, despite it not being a necessity. Trump is expected to have talks with Prime Minister Theresa May, though the trip was downgraded from an official trip to a “working visit,†which doesn’t technically require an invitation.
Plans for the visit have not yet been finalized, but Wood told the media his itinerary would include seeing the “head of state.â€
“Putting his foot on British soil, it's job one, it's very important, very symbolic,†Wood said. "Meeting Her Majesty is the most important thing, because she's the head of state, and from then on, it'll be what the president wants to do."
