'Incredible Victory': People Power Forces Trump To Postpone UK State Visit

President Trump's state visit to the United Kingdom has been thrown into doubt - allegedly because he is anxious about the mass protest which would likely greet him.

A recent report published by The Guardian claims that Donald Trump has postponed a state visit to Britain over fears of protests, and adds that Trump does not wish to visit until "Brits support him coming".

The Guardian report claimed the president told Mrs May in a telephone call in "recent weeks" that he did not want to travel to the United Kingdom until he had support from the British public.

The White House, on the other hand, reportedly planned that London trip would be a part of a trip to Europe the following month; however, the idea was dropped because of Mr Trump's heavy schedule.

Similar details were reported by The Times of London, which claimed that a forthcoming speech by the Queen, in which she formally announces imminent state visits, will make no mention of Trump.

Zinke said a final recommendation would come later this year after he has reviewed all the monuments listed for review. If you would like to discuss another topic, look for a relevant article. "You need to testify before both in public".

A spokesperson for Downing Street would not comment on the rumors: "We aren't going to comment on speculation about the contents of private phone conversations". The story claims that the U.S. president does not want to come if there are large-scale protests and until such a time that he feels he will be welcomed, that he will put a state visit on hold.

When Khan responded saying he had "more important things to do than respond to Donald Trump's ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks", Trump took his criticism a step further, accusing the mayor of making up "pathetic excuses". Spicer also said that Trump does not factor in his popularity in a country before agreeing to visit.

Sadiq Khan called for Trump's visit to be cancelled after he attacked the Mayor for his handling of the London Bridge terrorist attacks last weekend.

Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said Trump is "terrified" of the British public and that he is aware his policies are deemed "appalling" across the pond. "That subject never came up on the call".

May had invited Trump to Britain just a week after his inauguration during her trip as the first foreign leader to visit the Trump White House.
