British prime Minister rejects call to cancel President Trump’s visit to the UK

Theresa May’s government has finally dismissed the over 1.8 million signatures signed, requesting the British government to disallow the President of the United States Donald J. Trump.

Responding to the petition, the British government said though it recognises the agitation of the people, but stated that “the president of the United States should be extended the full courtesy of a state visit,” and further said “we look forward to welcoming President Trump once dates and arrangements are finalized.”

Though the petition would still be debated by British MPs February 20.

Trump’s invitation to the UK was announced by May in January when she paid a visit to the president, which he also accepted.

While the date for the visit has not been confirmed, according to local media it is likely to be slated for the summer to avoid controversy over whether Trump should address parliament.
