UK. Prime Minister Theresa May has formally rejected a petition urging the British government to cancel a planned state visit by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Almost two million people signed the petition entitled "Prevent Donald Trump from making a State Visit to the United Kingdom". "HM Government believes the President of the United States should be extended the full courtesy of a State Visit. We look forward to welcoming President Trump once dates and arrangements are finalized," the British government said in a statement on Tuesday. "This invitation reflects the importance of the relationship between the United States of America and the United Kingdom. At this stage, final dates have not yet been agreed for the State Visit," the statement added.
The popularity of the vote means a parliamentary debate on whether Trump should be prevented from visiting the U.K. is due to be held on Monday 20 February.
