Asked by:
James McMurdock (Independent)
Answer
The Prime Minister congratulates President Trump on his inauguration and looks forward to working with him. The US is a dependable ally.
The precedent is that only Ambassadors based in Washington DC are invited to attend the inauguration ceremony as representatives of foreign governments. Individual MPs or notable figures from the UK and other countries may attend at the invitation of individual members of congress, or Party officials, but they will be attending in a personal capacity.
