Beyond just prestigious gatherings with lots of pageantry, officials employ these tours to advance Britain's interests.
Traditionally, commanders-in-chief serving a second term—such as Trump—are not offered a state visit.
Instead, they are invited for an informal meal with the royal figurehead, following the precedent of past leaders Obama and the 43rd president.
Nonetheless, in early this year, the head of government offered the president an royal summons during a US conference to talk over a UK-US trade deal.
The Prime Minister said the gesture represented a "remarkably significant" and "never-before-seen" event.
He noted it was a "great, great honour" to receive the invitation.
