Donald Trump is not expected to make a speech to the Houses of Parliament because his second State Visit is expected to take place when the Commons is not sitting in mid-September, GB News understands.
The US President, who was denied the opportunity to address MPs and peers in 2019, accepted the invitation from King Charles for an unprecedented second trip to the UK in February.
The move makes Trump the first elected political leader in modern times to be hosted for two state visits in Britain.
The revelation comes just days after Emmanuel Macron was given the honour of addressing Parliament, with the French President bashing Brexit and committing to tackling the Channel crossing crisis.
Concerns had been raised about Labour MPs objecting and even not attending Parliament for the address in a sign of protest.
Kate Osborne, Labour MP for Jarrow and Gateshead East, wrote to the speaker in April asking him to stop Trump from addressing parliament, and tabled an early-day motion outlining her concerns.
Osborne wrote: "I am asking you as the Speaker to agree it would be inappropriate and mirror the previous Speaker’s recommendation."
She added: "It is of course up to our Government to decide if they use the state visit to engage with Trump on a wide range of issues as above but that does not translate to giving him the honour of addressing the UK parliament, the decision of which I believe should reside with you.

However, former US Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have all had the honour of addressing Parliament.
The decision risks significant backlash from Trump, who British officials privately acknowledge is sensitive to perceived slights and often makes his opinions clear on his social media platform, Truth Social.
He is thought to have a keen desire for the idea after he was blocked from doing so on his last visit.
After his second visit was announced, more than half-a-million Britons signed a petition calling for the US President to be banned from coming to the UK, triggering a parliamentary debate.

Around 50 MPs spoke in the debate, with Lord Foulkes of Cumnock warning that Trump's "attitude towards and comments about the UK, parliamentary democracy, the Nato alliance and Ukraine” should restrict him from addressing the Houses of Parliament.
Trump will also make a brief visit to the UK in the coming weeks, with the 47th President expected to spend time at his Scottish golf resort, Trump Turnberry, in Ayrshire.
