House of Commons Speaker John Bercow said this week he would seek to block a speech by Trump, and the report in The Guardian said officials are now looking to schedule Trump's trip at a time when the Parliament isn't in session.

Citing "Westminster sources," the report says that the trip is being discussed for the end of August or early September — over a weekend.

The report also said officials are trying to limit Trump's number of public appearances while in the U.K. altogether.

Trump's planned visit has been a source of controversy in the country, with more than 1 million citizens signing a petition on the U.K. government and parliament website to stop his visit altogether.

The petition to block Trump’s visit was originally created on the website in late November, but the number of signatures skyrocketed over the weekend after the president signed an executive order barring citizens of several Muslim-majority countries from traveling to the U.S.

While the petition doesn’t call for Trump to be banned from the U.K., it argues that a state visit would be an embarrassment to Queen Elizabeth II.

“Donald Trump should be allowed to enter the UK in his capacity as head of the US Government, but he should not be invited to make an official State Visit because it would cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen,” it says.
