British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has accepted an invitation to visit U.S. President Donald Trump during his expected trip to Scotland this month, a source familiar with the plans said on Thursday.
Details, including a specific date, were still being finalized, said the source, who was not authorized to speak publicly.
Scottish police said on Wednesday they were preparing for a possible visit by Trump to Scotland later this month, which would mark his first visit to Britain since the U.S. election last year.
The White House had no immediate comment on the report. The British embassy declined to comment.
Trump and Starmer developed a warm relationship in recent months, and last month signed a framework trade deal on the sidelines of a G7 meeting that formally lowered some U.S. tariffs on imports from Britain.
The deal came after Starmer visited the White House in February for a friendly encounter that included an invitation from King Charles for a future state visit, which Trump accepted.
UK media this week reported that Trump would visit his golf clubs in Scotland later this month. Sky News said he would visit his Turnberry and Aberdeenshire golf courses.
