US President Trump could visit Britain in July - Sky News

US President Donald Trump could possibly come to Britain for a working visit in July, Sky News reported on April 25, saying details of the trip were expected to be announced in the next few days.

US President Donald Trump meets with British PM Theresa May at the White House, January 27, 2017.

A working visit would be more low-key than a full state visit. Prime Minister Theresa May invited Trump for a state visit when she went to Washington in January 2017, prompting protests, and a date for the visit has never been set.

A spokesman for May declined to comment on the Sky story, but said discussions are ongoing about Trump's visitand that it is expected later this year.

Previously, on April 21 British newspapers citing government sources in Washington and London reported that US President Donald Trump would visit Britain midway through 2018, possibly in July.

A spokeswoman for Prime Minister Theresa May's office said officials were still working out the details of a visit by Trump after the report.

Britain is keen to reinforce its "special relationship" with the United States as May's government prepares to leave the European Union, a divorce that will shape the country's standing in the world, but Trump has yet to visit London.

The Daily Telegraph quoted an unnamed official in the Trump administration as saying the president was looking at a visit to Britain in "late summer".
