The news came via the Queen\u2019s Speech, an event held when a new government enters Parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The Queen\u2019s address, which marks the opening of the new parliament, is usually dictated by the incoming administration and often includes details such as planned state visits. However, this year\u2019s speech only made reference to an upcoming visit by members of the Spanish royal family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">This news comes after reports emerged that Trump was re-thinking his decision to visit the UK, supposedly because he didn\u2019t want to face the huge protests against him that would have erupted in major towns and cities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The President reportedly told Prime Minister Theresa May that he did not want to come if people wouldn\u2019t welcome his visit in a phone call a few weeks ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Prime Minister May offered the President an invitation to visit just one week after his inauguration. Many in the UK saw this as a weak and cynical attempt to curry favor with the new President by lavishing him in luxury, meetings with the Royal Family and rides in the Royal carriage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Due to the imminent Brexit negotiations, which will see the UK begin the process of leaving the European Union, Britain is looking to strengthen its ties abroad. They saw Trump as a good way of re-igniting the \u201cspecial relationship\u201d between the two countries that suffered somewhat under former President Obama.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Unluckily for the British, they underestimated Trump\u2019s tendency to change his mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">A spokesman for the British Government said that the invitation was still on the table, but no timeframe had been agreed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The British Government has received calls from many public figures and petitions to cancel Trump\u2019s visit. The President\u2019s casual racist, sexist and Islamophobic comments went down very badly across the pond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The UK has been in turmoil for the last few weeks. A shock election result ruined the Conservative Party\u2019s majority and created a political crisis. Then two terrorist attacks and a deadly fire in a tower block that has claimed the lives of more than 79 people have rocked the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">SOURCE:-\u00a0http:\/\/washingtonjournal.com\/2017\/06\/21\/uk-just-cancelled-donald-trumps-state-visit\/<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/world-news\/uk-just-cancelled-donald-trump-state-visit.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK Just Cancelled Donald Trump State Visit The UK Just Cancelled Donald Trump State Visit:- The planned visit to the United Kingdom by President Donald Trump has been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
