Trump will not meet the Queen

- By Ben Riley-smith

DONALD TRUMP is expected to visit Britain in January in a “working” trip that would not see him meet the Queen or stay at Buckingham Palace.

A senior US diplomatic figure has told The Daily Telegraph that the US president may visit in order to officially open America’s new London embassy. Such a trip would avoid the controvers­y surroundin­g the proposed state visit offered by Theresa May.

More than 200 MPS have signed a motion opposing a Trump address to the Houses of Parliament – and mass protests were also threatened.

However, British and American officials last night insisted that a full state visit would still go ahead, with a trip expected by the end of 2018.
