Donald Trump's spokesman has said the US president will travel to the UK, rejecting reports the state visit had been cancelled.

However, Sean Spicer, the White House spokesman gave no indication of when the trip may take place.

There were reports over the weekend that the visit, which had been expected to be scheduled for October, had been cancelled.

Mr Trump informed Theresa May, the Prime Minister, he did not want to visit if there were going to be large-scale protests against him, the Guardian reported.

The White House spokesman was asked on Monday afternoon how much weight Mr Trump gave to how unpopular he may be in a given country when planning his overseas trips.

"None at all," Mr Spicer replied.
