Diplomats were shocked last week when Chinese President Xi Jinping was offered an invitation to Trump’s inauguration.
Starmer is understood not to have been invited to the ceremony but that is not unusual as records indicate no foreign leaders have ever attended a presidential inauguration.
A spokesman for Starmer said no decisions on the timing of a trip have taken place.
At the inauguration ceremony, the new president will make a promise to American citizens to do his best to protect the country and do a good job as leader, known as “taking the oath of office”.

Starmer and Lammy had a two-hour meal with Trump and his team at Trump Tower in New York City in September.
The UK’s Ambassador to the US Karen Pierce was credited with making sure the Prime Minister, in town for the United Nations General Assembly, didn’t have to add more airmiles to his trip by visiting Florida as well and for securing the first meal inside the golden skyscraper taken by a visiting foreign premier.
