- Donald Trump has reportedly been denied the opportunity to address the UK parliament during his upcoming state visit.
- This decision contrasts with the recent honour given to Emmanuel Macron, who addressed parliament.
- Reports indicate Trump is also not expected to visit Buckingham Palace or have a ceremonial carriage ride, which are common features of state visits.
- The denial follows concerns from MPs and the public regarding Trump's respect for democracy, with previous calls to block such an address.
- However, a senior White House official stated that a parliamentary speech was "never expected or even discussed" for Trump's itinerary.
