Senior politicians including Sir Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrat leader, said the visit should be cancelled in the wake of his criticism, adding: \u201cTrump is yet again insulting our brave Armed Forces just because we refuse to be dragged into his illegal war.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dame Emily Thornberry, a senior Labour MP, suggested it would be \u201csafer to delay\u201d the trip because of the Iran war, warning that the Royal family could be left feeling \u201cembarrassed\u201d because of the crisis.<\/p>\n
However, Warren Stephens, America\u2019s UK ambassador, said it would be a \u201cvery big mistake\u201d to cancel the visit, insisting that it would be a \u201cvery meaningful trip\u201d for the King.<\/p>\n
The visit will be the King\u2019s 20th to the US, but his first as monarch. In 2005, the King and Queen, then the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, went to the country for their first joint official tour after they married.<\/p>\n
For the 200th anniversary of US independence, the late Queen and Prince Philip travelled to the States in a show of friendship, with Elizabeth II delivering a speech about George III, her ancestor, and his defeat at the hands of colonial rebels.<\/p>\n
Elizabeth II made four state visits to the US \u2013 in 1957, 1976, 1991 and 2007.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
