Donald Trump UK visit 2019 – when the US President is in London and what he’s doing
DONALD Trump is visiting the UK in the first week of December 2019 - it's his third visit since he took office.
The president will be here for two days, and will be hitting all the hot spots - including Buckingham Palace. But what will be happening during his visit?
When is Donald Trump visiting the UK?
He will be in the UK from today until Wednesday, December 4.
The president will be welcomed with a reception at Buckingham Palace tomorrow.
The Queen will be greeting Nato leaders as part of events marking 70 years of the alliance.
Nato (the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) will then meet at The Grove in Watford, on December 4.
President Trump will have separate talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and attend a working lunch with representatives from Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Bulgaria, and the United Kingdom.
What is Nato?
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was formed in 1949 after the end of the Second World War.
The aim of Nato is to make sure that its 29 member countries don't fight each other; instead they use their forces to work together for world peace.
Nato has been used increasingly in situations where the world has decided urgent military action is needed.

Will there be protests?
The last time the President was in the country he was met with a giant inflatable baby and anti-Trump protests.
A number of protests are planned for when the Trumps are visiting, mainly medical professionals who will be gathering in front of Buckingham Palace during the reception.
Thousands are expected to attend the demonstration to highlight potential risks to the NHS in a future US-UK trade deal.
How have UK politicians reacted to the visit?
Boris Johnson has reportedly warned Mr Trump not to get involved with the election while he is here, after he previously suggested that Boris and Nigel Farage join forces.
The two leaders won't be having a one-on-one meeting, according to the White House.
In an interview with LBC on Friday, Mr Johnson said ahead of the summit: "Best for neither side to be involved in the other's election campaigns.

"We have very close relationships and friendships with the United States at every level of government, but what we don't do traditionally as loving allies and friends... is get involved in each other's election campaigns."
Responding to Mr Johnson's request, Mr Trump has agreed not to wade into election dealings.
