The US president had been due to open the new American embassy in London but has now reportedly pulled out because he is "unhappy about the arrangements and scale of the visit."
Any visit by Trump to the UK seems certain to be met with huge protests, with 55% of Brits in one poll calling for his planned state visit to be cancelled.
