US President Donald Trump, who cancelled his trip to the UK in fear of mass protests against him, is rumoured to be sneaking in a quick stop over at Turnberry, his golf resort in Scotland, during his trip to Europe, between attending the G20 summit in Hamburg and joining celebrations for Bastille Day in France on 14 July.
Trump is therefore expected to make a visit to Downing Street in London too, to meet the Prime Minister Theresa May for informal talks as part of any such visit, though it is believed that final confirmation would be likely to be given with just 24 hours’ notice to minimise the risk of disruption.
May had invited Trump a week after he took on the office, and became the first foreign leader to visit him in the White House. In February activists, MPs and trade unions vowed to hold the largest demonstrations in UK history if Trump made a state visit to the UK. They formed the Stop Trump Coalition and even hired a permanent staff member.
However the Prime Minister's spokesperson from Downing Street has emphasised that they are not aware of any plans for Trump to visit the UK in the coming few weeks, and these are merely speculations from the public.
