Donald Trump’s controversial visit to the UK is on hold, according to the Guardian, which reports that the US president, leery of protests upon his arrival, spoke with Prime Minister Theresa May and told her “he didn’t want to proceed with a state visit to U.K. until he received more support for the trip.” Trump reportedly told May that he did not want to come if there were “large-scale protests and his remarks in effect put the visit on hold for some time.”

The call, which was leaked by a Downing Street adviser who was in the room, was made in recent weeks and according to the Guardian explains why there has been little public discussion about Trump’s visit. The Guardian also notes that Trump’s statement “surprised May.”

As a reminder, May invited Trump to Britain seven days after his inauguration when she became the first foreign leader to visit him in the White House. She told a joint press conference she had extended an invitation from the Queen to Trump and his wife Melania to make a state visit later in the year and was “delighted that the president has accepted that invitation”. While many UK diplomats, including former national security advisor Lord Ricketts, said the invitation was premature, it was impossible to rescind once made.
