Former President Donald Trump will speak at the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Sunday, in what will be his first public speech since leaving office on 20 January.
Three-days worth of speakers are set to take part in the annual meeting from 25-28 February, which this year sees conservative lawmakers, activists and Republican Party officials converge in Orlando, Florida.
Mike Pence, the former vice president, reportedly turned down an invitation to speak at CPAC, while the Republican senate minority leader Mitch McConnell reportedly received no invitation at all.
It follows recent criticism of Mr Trump’s role in the 6 January insurrection on the US Capitol, and a behind-the-scenes power struggle among Republicans in Congress.
