Report: Trump Wants to Push Back U.K. Visit

Until he has more support in the U.K.

President Donald Trump has reportedly requested that his state visit to the United Kingdom be pushed back until he has more support among the British people. According to The Guardian, Trump relayed his concerns to Prime Minister Theresa May in a phone call, and the visit is “in effect...on hold for some time.” Trump’s reported request comes as the rift between the two countries has widened over Trump’s taunting of London mayor Sadiq Khan in the aftermath of a terror attack there last weekend. May invited Trump shortly after he was inaugurated in January. A spokeswoman for May pushed back on the report, saying “there is no change to those plans,” while the White House added: “The president has tremendous respect for Prime Minister May. That subject never came up on the call.”
