UK says Trump trip invite still stands after report of delay

None

The British prime minister's office says the state visit invitation to US President Donald Trump still stands, after a newspaper reported that Trump wants to postpone the trip.

 

The Guardian reported Sunday that Trump told Prime Minister Theresa May that he doesn't want to come if there will be protests—a likely prospect. The newspaper cited an unnamed Downing St. aide in the room.

 

May's office declined to comment on "private phone conversations." It said Queen Elizabeth II had "extended an invitation to President Trump to visit the UK and there is no change to those plans."
