A new poll found that the majority of Scots, 53 per cent, do not believe that President Trump should be invited to Scotland on his trip to Britain

Downing Street is expected to acknowledge within days that Donald Trump’s state visit is on hold as an exclusive new poll shows that most Scots do not want the president to come to Scotland.

The Queen will lay out the programme of Theresa May’s minority government in the House of Lords on Monday and the visit is likely to be missing. The speech is usually used to give formal notice of future state visits.

Plans for the visit, which had been expected to take place later this year, have been put on ice after Mr Trump told the prime minister that he would not come to Britain if he was to be met with large public protests.
