U.S. President Donald Trump will visit the U.K. in July, Sky News reported Wednesday.

The media group said there will be confirmation of the trip made public in the next day or so.

A Trump visit to Britain has been controversial. In January, Downing Street said it would likely be a working visit, not a state visit. That means Trump would hold meetings with government ministers but would not meet Queen Elizabeth II. The prospect of the U.S. president spending time with the monarch had been a major source of opposition to a Trump visit. A petition calling on Britain to withdraw an invitation to Trump because the visit “would cause embarrassment” to the queen gained more than 1.8 million signatures.

Theresa May and Trump held talks in Davos, Switzerland in January, with the president saying they have “a really great relationship.” Downing Street said the chemistry between the two leaders was “good.”

Trump said “it’s an honor to be with Prime Minister May, and we’ve had a great discussion. We’re on the same wavelength, I think on every respect.

“The prime minister and myself have had a really great relationship, although some people don’t necessarily believe that, but I can tell you, I have a tremendous respect for the prime minister and the job she’s doing. And I think the feeling is mutual from the standpoint of liking each other a lot.”

According to Downing Street, “the only conversation about the visit was about arranging for a date later in the year.

“I think it is clear that the president wants to come and that is why we are working on the plans.”

Earlier this year, Trump announced on Twitter that he had canceled a planned trip to London to open the new U.S. Embassy.

Trump blamed the cancellation on his predecessor, Barack Obama, writing that the Obama administration had made a “bad deal” in relocating the embassy in London even though that decision had been made by former President George W. Bush.
