Donald Trump
has told Theresa May in a phone call he does not want to go ahead with a
state visit to Britain until the British public supports him coming
.
The US president said he did not want to come if there were large-scale protests and his remarks in effect put the visit on hold for some time.
The call was made in recent weeks, according to a Downing Street adviser who was in the room. The statement surprised May, according to those present.
The conversation in part explains why there has been little public discussion about a visit.
