Trump state visit omitted from queen’s speech Downing Street insists invitation to American president was extended and accepted, and there has been no change to that.

LONDON — Donald Trump's state visit to the U.K. was not mentioned in the queen's speech, casting further doubt over the trip's timing.

Queen Elizabeth uses the ceremonial opening of parliament to give details of upcoming visits to the U.K. by other heads of states, or details of any state visits she is making overseas. But this year's planned trip by the U.S. president — announced during the U.K. prime minister's visit to Washington — was not listed.

It comes after a report in the Guardian that U.S. President Donald Trump told Prime Minister Theresa May in a phone call he does not want to press ahead with a state visit until the British public supports him coming.

He told May he didn’t want to spark public protests, according to a Downing Street adviser quoted anonymously by the newspaper, a claim the White House denied at the time.

A No. 10 official insisted Wednesday that visits do happen without inclusion in the queen's speech and the invitation had been extended and accepted and there had been no change to that. Another official said it was omitted because no date had been set.

At the official state opening of parliament Queen Elizabeth said: "Prince Philip and I look forward to welcoming their majesties King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain on a state visit in July."

London Mayor Sadiq Khan called on the U.K. government to cancel Trump’s visit after he was criticized in two tweets by the U.S. president in the aftermath of the London terror attack. U.K. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson insisted Trump's visit should go ahead as planned.
