Donald Trump's spokesman has said the US President is not planning a surprise visit to the UK - amid mounting speculation of an upcoming trip.

Some British politicians had hinted at the possibility the US President might make a flying visit to the UK to coincide with the G20 summit in Hamburg this week.

A leading UK politician with connections to the White House hinted a visit could come "much sooner than you think", pointing out that Mr Trump will be visiting Poland and Germany before going to France for the Bastille Day celebrations on 14 July.

But White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Mr Trump would not visit the UK in the coming weeks.

"While he looks forward to visiting the UK, it will not be in the next two weeks," Mr Spicer told the Financial Times.


Earlier, Downing Street also said it was not aware of any plans for Mr Trump to visit the UK in the next few weeks.

A spokesman said: "I am not aware of any plans for the president to visit the UK in the next few weeks."

He said an invitation for Mr Trump to come to Britain on a state visit had been accepted and details would be set out in due course.

The Prime Minister extended the invitation to the President during a trip to Washington in January but a date has never been announced.

Some media have reported that the trip has been postponed due to concerns over the risk of protests.

The President will start his European trip in Warsaw on Thursday, when he will address 12 central European, Baltic and western Balkan leaders at the Three Seas conference.

He will also give a "major speech" at Krasinski Square, the site of the 1944 Warsaw uprising against Nazi occupation, and will lay out his vision of "the future of our transatlantic alliance and what that means for American security and American prosperity".

In Germany, he is due to meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel before attending the G20 summit.

There, he has arranged bilateral meetings with officials including Mrs May and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
