The British government is not aware of any plans for Donald Trump to visit the UK in the next few weeks, Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesperson said today, amid reports that the US President is planning a flying visit to the country.

Some UK media reports had suggested that the US President may utilise a gap between his visit to Hamburg in Germany, for the G-20 summit later this week and a planned visit to France for Bastille Day celebrations on July 14 to drop in the UK.

"I am not aware of any plans for the President to visit the UK in the next few weeks," a Downing Street spokesperson said.
