Donald Trump\u2019s state visit to the UK is to be delayed until October and will take place mostly in Scotland, according to reports.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The Daily Mail has reported that planners want to shift much of the US president\u2019s trip – originally pencilled in for the first week in June – to the Queen\u2019s residence at Balmoral, Aberdeenshire, in a bid to deter protesters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The president could spend as little as one day in London before heading to Scotland.<\/p>\n

A senior Whitehall source told the paper: \u201cThe Americans have asked to push it back.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t want what will be one of his first big foreign trips to be overshadowed.<\/p>\n

\u201dMr Trump\u2019s mother, Mary, was born in Stornoway on the isle of Lewis.<\/p>\n

There is also speculation that Mr Trump may wish to visit the area during his stay.<\/p>\n

He has substantial business interests in Scotland, including the Trump International Golf Course in Aberdeenshire.<\/p>\n

However, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was among those calling for his state visit to be cancelled in retaliation for his \u201cdeeply wrong\u201d travel ban<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The reported delay also means that Parliament will be in recess, making it impossible for MPs to \u201csnub\u201d the President by refusing him the honour of making an address.<\/p>\n

Officials believe the delay could also allow tempers to cool over Mr Trump\u2019s controversial policies, and that the autumn weather may make mass protests less likely.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It is unlikely , given the character\u00a0damage President Trump has brought upon himself, that a delay will change the desire to protest Trump’s visit to he UK and Scotland. Foreigners are able to see Presdent Trump for who and what he really\u00a0is.<\/p>\n

It is clear that the Trump administration will be running damage control operations everywhere he visits. He simpy is not well like by anyone or any nation. Except maybe Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
