(MENAFN) London Mayor Sadiq Khan is "not sure it is appropriate for our government to toll out the red carpet" for Donald Trump.
The US leader was offered a state visit to Britain by Theresa May, seven days after his presidential inauguration, when she became the first foreign leader to visit the White House.
She said she had extended an invitation from the Queen to Trump and his wife, Melania, to make a state visit later in the year and was "delighted that the president has accepted that invitation".
But Mr Khan, who has clashed with Mr Trump over his decision to bar people from travelling to the US from mainly Muslim countries and the response to the London Bridge terror attack, has questioned whether it takes place.
