President Trump Will Finally Visit the U.K. but Won't Meet the Queen

http://time.com/5256103/donald-trump-visit-uk/

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will visit the United Kingdom on July 13 for a “working visit” with Prime Minister Theresa May, the White House said.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders announced the visit Thursday. A Downing Street spokesperson confirmed the scheduled talks.

Trump’s visit has been anticipated for more than a year, after May was the first foreign leader to be hosted by the president at the White House after his inauguration.

Last year, May proclaimed the strength of the “most special relationship” between the two countries, and the government extended an invitation for a state visit as a guest of Queen Elizabeth II.


Sorry he's coming and I hope he's greeted with massive protests.

Will they have to meet in some run-down conference room out at LHR, so nobody sees them?

I'm sure our British friends know exactly what to do...
