TEHRAN, May 28 - UK Prime Minister Theresa May will urge US President Donald Trump to avoid protesters in London during his planned visit to Britain in July and instead meet her at her country residence, according to British media.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The details of the plan will be given to the White House by Kim Darroch, British ambassador to the United States, The Sun newspaper reported on Sunday, citing a source.
Darroch will suggest to the White House that Trump does not visit 10 Downing Street and the British Parliament, the the UK daily reported.
The report said that May prefers the meeting with Trump to take place at Chequers, the country retreat for UK prime ministers located 40 miles (60 km) northwest of London.
Trump will also be asked to have tea with Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle, a royal residence located about 32 kilometers (20 miles) west of London and not at Buckingham Palace, according to the report.
Trump will travel to Britain in July for a working visit with May, after months of back-and-forth over when the US president would visit the UK, which has traditionally been America’s closest ally.
Many Britons have vowed to stage protests if Trump visits, with several politicians having previously voiced their opposition to Trump being granted a state visit.
Earlier in the year, London Mayor Sadiq Khan said Trump was not welcome in London because of what he called Trump’s “divisive agenda.”
Trump canceled a trip to London to open a new embassy in February. May was the first international leader to visit Trump in Washington after his inauguration last year.
British Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn recently rejected the so-called “special relationship” between the US and the UK, saying that Washington is not the most important ally of London.
The term special relationship was first used in a 1946 speech by former UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill. It is used to describe the close political, economic, military and cultural relations between the United States and the United Kingdom.
