The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what the cost to the public purse was of President Trump’s State visit in September 2025.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

Costs related to the State Visit will be published on GOV.UK in the usual way. President Trump's State Visit heralded a new era of the special relationship - securing a record £150 billion of inward investment from US companies and saw the signature of the first ever UK-US tech agreement.
