Ben Houchen extends an invitation to the former US President
Red Wall Tory Ben Houchen has extended an invitation to Donald Trump to visit Britain. The Mayor for Tees Valley praised Trump's "political comeback" and highlighted their shared focus on neglected communities.
Stealing a march on PM Sir Keir Starmer
Ben Houchen's invitation to Donald Trump comes ahead of any official invitation from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Houchen commended Trump's efforts to uplift overlooked communities and drew parallels between Teesside in the North East and the American Rust Belt.
Shared principles between Teesside and the Rust Belt
In his letter to Trump, Houchen highlighted the similarities between Teesside and the Rust Belt, emphasizing the need for investment and support for the real economy in both regions. He expressed admiration for Trump's commitment to empowering unheard voices.
Future state visit expected
While Ben Houchen has invited Donald Trump to visit Tees Valley, the PM is anticipated to extend a formal invitation for a state visit once Trump transitions into the role of US President from Joe Biden.
