Donald Trump’s UK State Visit Put On Hold

The Guardian reports that U.S. President Donald Trump has postponed his UK state visit until he feels the British public would welcome him.

According to a report from Downing Street as quoted by the paper, Trump called the British P.M. Theresa May in recent weeks to drop the ‘surprising’ statement.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan earlier this week called for the visit to be cancelled over the president’s comments in the aftermath of the London terrorist attacks.

“I don’t think we should roll out the red carpet to the president of the U.S. in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for,” Khan told Channel 4 News Monday evening.

Trump was previously scheduled to visit the U.K. in October.
