Theresa May said: “I am very pleased that the Secretary General has asked us to host a meeting of NATO leaders this year to mark its 70th anniversary.
“December’s meeting is an important opportunity to determine the steps we must now take to modernise the Alliance and ensure its continued success.”

Policing Trump’s last visit to the UK cost £8 million.
A petition to prevent an official state visit by Trump began in 2017 and attracted 1.8 million signatures. His ‘working visit’ last year attracted tens of thousands of demonstrators to protest his meetings with Theresa May and the Queen.
During that trip in July, the president visited Theresa May at Chequers and met the Queen at Windsor Castle.
