Written Question
USA: State Visits
Monday 4th December 2017

Asked by: Paula Sherriff (Labour - Dewsbury)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, with reference to the retweet of 29 November 2017 from the @realDonaldTrump twitter account of the tweet from the @JaydaBF twitter account, whether it remains the Government's policy to proceed with President Trump's forthcoming official visit to the UK.

Answered by Alan Duncan

As the Prime Minister made very clear on 30 November, retweeting videos from Britain First was wrong.

As the Prime Minister stated on 30 November, an invitation for a State Visit has been extended and has been accepted. A date has yet to be set.
