While the Ukrainian leader’s visit is an official one, it is less formal than a state visit.

Traditionally second-term US presidents are not offered a state visit and have instead been invited for tea or lunch with the monarch at Windsor Castle.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office after reading the letter, Trump said he accepted the invite and that it would be an “honour” to visit the “fantastic” country. When the trip will take place has yet to be announced.
