THE Queen is to host a reception for Donald Trump and Nato leaders at Buckingham Palace to mark 70 years of the alliance.<\/p>\n
The evening event will take place on Tuesday December 3, the palace said.<\/p>\n

US President Trump will be joined by French President Emmanuel Macron among the leaders expected to attend.<\/p>\n
It is not yet known whether other members of the royal family will join the Queen for the celebration.<\/p>\n
The next Nato leaders' summit is taking place in Watford, Hertfordshire, in December, at The Grove hotel.<\/p>\n
Mr Trump was last in London for a three-day state visit in June - where he met then PM Theresa May and members of the Royal family.<\/p>\n
The President enjoyed banquets at the Palace before ending his trip with a ceremony to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day in Portsmouth.<\/p>\n
Mr Trump has been an outspoken critic of Nato and has repeatedly asked its member states to spend more on defence.<\/p>\n
He described the alliance as \"obsolete and disproportionately too expensive (and unfair) for the US\".<\/p>\n
Last year the US President won the battle for them to increase their budget when they finally pledged to spend an extra 25billion.<\/p>\n
His declaration came moments after members held an emergency meeting to address the US President's increasingly furious accusations they are not contributing enough financially.<\/p>\n
At the time there were conflicting reports that Trump had threatened to quit the alliance if members did not agree to his demands.<\/p>\n
