Details: The Dec. 3 fundraiser, which hasn't previously been reported, will be hosted by Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel, co-chair Tommy Hicks Jr., national finance chair Todd Ricketts, and Trump's campaign manager Brad Parscale, according to the invitation.
The Trump team expects to raise $3 million from the event, according to a source familiar with the planning.
The invitation lists three tiers of donors:
For $125,000, a donor can join a roundtable, get a photo with the president and attend the reception.
For $50,000, a donor gets the photo and reception.
For $35,000, they can just attend the reception. "All contributors must provide a copy of a U.S. passport," the invitation says.
The big picture: It's standard practice for presidential campaigns to solicit money from wealthy U.S. citizens living overseas.
In 2011, President Obama's re-election campaign drew $237,000 from expatriates in the U.K., $128,000 from France and $113,000 in Switzerland, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
NBC News also reported last month that Pete Buttigieg's husband, Chasten, would embark on a three-country tour of Europe to raise money for his 2020 campaign.
Trump's ambassador to the United Kingdom, the billionaire New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, was previously a major Republican fundraiser, including to Trump's 2016 campaign.
Johnson is not listed on the invitation and would not be expected to play a role in the event, given he will be hosting Trump in his official capacity as America's ambassador to the U.K
