BEDMINSTER, United States, June 12 (APP/AFP) – The
White House said Sunday that President Donald Trump did not discuss a trip to Britain with Prime Minister Theresa May in their most telephone recent call, with officials denying plans had changed.
Trump has been invited to make a coveted state visit, penciled in for
autumn, but no dates have been set, amid political turmoil in London and fears that the US president would be greeted by mass protests.
Trump was already a deeply unpopular figure in Britain.
Britain’s Guardian newspaper group pored doubt over the trip Sunday,
reporting that Trump told May in a phone call in recent weeks that he does not want to go ahead with a state visit until the British public supports him coming.
White House officials say few discussions about the trip have taken
place and Trump’s travel schedule is already filling up.
