President Trump might be in for a showdown in the UK as anti-Trump protesters are mobilizing to take action on the shortest possible notice after unconfirmed news emerged that the Prime Minister is preparing to host the U.S president in the next two week.
According to the Guardian, the President could visit Turnberry, his golf resort in Scotland between attending the G20 summit in Germany and joining celebrations for Bastille Day in France on 14 July. Trump’s formal visit to the UK was postponed last month, after a threat of mass protests from the general public.
Activists, MPs and trade unions vowed to hold the largest demonstrations UK would ever see if President Trump visited the UK and even formed the Stop Trump coalition. May invited Trump to Britain seven days after his inauguration after becoming the first foreign leader to visit him in the White House
Reports emerged that Trump did not want to go ahead with the state visit until the British public were in support of his coming in June after the general elections.The president is expected to visit Downing Street to meet with May for informal talks, though final confirmation would be likely to be given with 24 hours’ notice to minimize the risk of public disruption.
