Trump not going to Britain fearing protests
US President Donald Trump reportedly told UK Prime Minister Theresa May in a phone call that he does not want to make a state visit to Britain because he fears there will be protests against him, the Guardian reports.
According to the paper the call was made in recent weeks and effectively puts the visit on hold for the foreseeable future.
The report, quotes a Downing Street adviser who was in the room, saying May was surprised.
New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush quotes two administration officials as confirming the planned visit is off.
UK off Trump's Europe trip for now, per two senior admin officials, not quite going as far as Guardian story. Still possible etc. Story soon
