The exact details of Donald Trump’s trip to the UK are still to be confirmed after it was revealed he will visit the country on 3 June.

The President was offered a state visit by Theresa May in January 2017, following the Prime Minister’s visit to the US.

At the time, a petition attracted more than one million signatures calling for the visit to be cancelled, but more than two years on the visit is now due to take place in June.

Why is Trump visiting controversial?

The President has had a controversial presidency, highlighted most recently by the Mueller report which highlighted Trump’s attempts to block the investigation into his personal and his campaign’s dealings with Russia.

He has also been criticised for not calling out white supremacists following rioting and the murder of a protester in Charlottesville in August 2017.

The President has also come under fire for allegations of sexual misconduct and misogynistic comments.
