Plans set for Trump to avoid protesters in London visit
The US President will arrive in July
It's thought Prime Minister Theresa May will urge U.S. President Donald Trump to avoid protesters in central London during his UK visit in July and instead meet her at her country residence.
The details of the plan will be given to the White House by Kim Darroch, British ambassador to the United States, a report said.
Trump could visit the PM's 16th-century manor house 40 miles (60 km) northwest of London - with the source adding it would be made clear that May prefers the meeting to take place at Chequers.
It's also claimed Trump will be asked to have tea with Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle, a royal residence west of London and not at Buckingham Palace..
May's office was not immediately available for comment.
Trump will travel to Britain in July for a working visit with May, after months of back-and-forth over when the U.S. president would visit what traditionally has been the United States' 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.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said earlier in the year Trump was not welcome in London because of what he called Trump's "divisive agenda".
Trump cancelled a trip to London to open a new embassy earlier in the year.
May was the first international leader to visit Trump in Washington after his inauguration last year.
