The US President Donald Trump is set for a second UK visit later this year as the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) announced on Wednesday that the military alliance is to hold its next summit in London in December. Jens Stoltenberg said NATO allies had agreed that the meeting of its heads of state and government, which includes Trump, will take place in the UK this year. British Prime Minister Theresa May described NATO as a cornerstone of national security in her statement on the summit. Trump has previously demanded that NATO commit 4 per cent of is annual output to military spending, which would double the current target. The December summit would mark an important meeting of the intergovernmental military alliance between 29 North American and European countries.
