Cons still think Trump is popular?
Donald Trump visit to London called off amid fears of mass protests
Donald Trump has backed off the idea of visiting Britain next month to open the new US embassy in London amid fears of mass protests.
Government sources suggested that Washington had signalled that secretary of state Rex Tillerson would instead open the multimillion-pound embassy.
Theresa May invited Trump for a state visit when she became the first world leader to visit the president in the White House a year ago.
With activists pledging to stage mass protests and MPs determined not to give the president the opportunity to address parliament, no date for a state visit has been set.
