Manchester chosen to host 2027 G20 summit

Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced on Thursday that he looks forward to welcoming U.S. President Donald Trump to the city later this month. The statement, issued ahead of the president’s scheduled stop on his European tour, highlighted the opportunity for both leaders to discuss bilateral trade, investment, and cultural ties while underscoring the long‑standing partnership between the United Kingdom and the United States.

Security arrangements are being coordinated by local authorities in conjunction with the Metropolitan Police and U.S. Secret Service, and a series of public engagements are planned, including a meeting with city officials and a brief appearance at a local business forum. Burnham said the visit reflects the city’s growing role on the international stage and will provide a platform for dialogue on shared economic interests. The trip is expected to conclude with a joint press briefing before the president departs for his next destination.
