US-UK Relations: Trump sparks political row after cancelling London trip
[]
British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson warned that UK-US relations are at risk after US President Donald Trump cancelled a trip to London.
Trump said he cancelled next month's visit to open the new American embassy in protest over the building's location and cost. Johnson suggested the decision was prompted by Britain's strong public and political opposition to Trump. He warned critics "seem determined to put this crucial relationship at risk". A year ago, Prime Minister Theresa May offered Trump a state visit. But the date has yet to be set in the face of deep hostility in Britain to the president. It's prompted speculation Trump's visit could be turned into a low profile trip focused around the opening of the new embassy.
