Donald Trump confirms pre-election UK visit [View all]
US President Donald Trump has confirmed he will travel to London 10 days before the UK general election.
He will be in the capital with the first lady for the Nato summit between 2 and 4 December.
Mr Trump will also attend a reception at Buckingham Palace, which will be hosted by the Queen.
The president has previously been criticised for voicing his opinions of British political leaders, including Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn.
The White House said in a statement that the president "looks forward to meeting" the other Nato leaders and would "emphasize the need for the Nato alliance to ensure its readiness for the threats of tomorrow".

If Trump repeats his previous strong support for Johnson during this visit, it may not be a move the Tories' campaign managers appreciate.
