People have been expecting a visit since Mr Trump was elected in 2016.

Prime Minister Theresa May has already made an official visit to the United States.

While Mr Trump's visit to the UK will be short, Mrs May will want to speak to him about lots of different issues.

This visit is not going to be an official state visit - as it will not be hosted by the Queen.

Why are people upset that President Trump is visiting?

Lots of people in the UK disagree with Mr Trump's policy on US immigration and the separation of migrant children from their families at shelters in the US.

More than one million people signed a petition last year against a visit from Mr Trump.

Thousands of people are expected to join protests against his visit in London and in Scotland.

Last week, London's Mayor Sadiq Khan gave permission for a large inflated balloon showing Donald Trump as a baby in a nappy to float above Parliament Square Gardens for two hours.

Police officers from different areas of the UK have been sent to London to help the Metropolitan Police control the crowds and keep people safe.

Despite the protests happening in London, Mr Trump will not spend much time in the capital city.
