Trump's state visit to the U.K. reportedly has been pushed to October
President Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May have agreed that Trump's state visit should be postponed until October, British government officials have told The Sun.
A senior official told The Sun Trump "really wants to come this year, but he wants the heat to die down a bit first," adding that Trump watches what happens in the U.K. "surprisingly closely, and they don't want to create a scene for our sake, either." Earlier this month, British lawmakers — including one Labour Party member of Parliament who said Trump acts like a "petulant child" — argued over sending him an invitation for an official state visit, and thousands of protesters demonstrated against both Trump coming to Britain and his executive order that barred refugees and travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S.
