The US President was expected to make his first trip to the UK since entering office, but Government officials have been told he has gone cold on the idea.
No new date has been offered, raising the prospect of a major diplomatic snub. One senior source suggested Mr Trump who was expected to officially open the new US embassy in London cancelled because he was unhappy about the arrangements and the scale of the visit.

(26,289 posts)That's not to say it isn't true. The Daily Mail may be a gossip rag but it does, on occasion, get some pretty amazing scoops.
Personally, I would have been/will be shocked if he ever does go to Britain, for a state or working visit. The protests his presence would trigger would be pretty epic.
