Donald Trump will not be making a surprise visit to his Scottish golf course in the next two weeks, the White House has said, as the threat of short-notice protests mounted in Britain.
A spokeswoman for the US president said on Monday that no trip was imminent, amid mounting speculation that Trump was planning to make an unofficial visit to the UK on his way to or from the G20 summit in Hamburg this week.
“While we look forward to visiting the UK, it will not happen in the next two weeks,” the spokeswoman said.
Trump will start his European trip in Warsaw on Thursday, when he will address 12 central European, Baltic and western Balkan leaders, before travelling to Germany on Friday.
