Trump UK state visit to go ahead in 2018: report

U.S. President Donald Trump’s state visit to Britain will take place next year and an unofficial visit may occur before then, Sky News reported Tuesday citing senior British government sources.

British Prime Minister Theresa May announced the Queen had invited Trump to Britain during her trip to Washington in January. The visit was initially expected this summer, but the Guardian reported in June that Trump told May he did not want to press ahead with it until the British public supported him coming.

The Queen’s speech didn’t include a mention of the Trump visit. British newspapers subsequently reported Trump planned to drop in to Britain ahead of the G20 summit in July, but Downing Street and the White House denied these claims.
