A spokesman for May said Sunday, The Queen extended an invitation to President Trump to visit the UK and there is no change to those plans. <\/p>\n
The reported scheduling change comes just days after London Mayor Sadiq Khan reiterated last week that his country should not host a state visit in Trumps honor. <\/p>\n
I dont think we should be rolling out the red carpet to the president of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for, said Khan, who is Londons first Muslim mayor. <\/p>\n
The presidentslammed Khan over his handling of the June 3 terror attack in London. Khan shot back, saying Trump had deliberately taken his assurances to Londoners out of context. <\/p>\n
May sparked criticism earlier this year when she announced that Trump had been invited to visit the U.K. with full state honors.
