Trump to postpone London visit until 2018
Source: ABC News
President Donald Trump will no longer be visiting London in his first year as president, a senior White House official confirmed to ABC News today.
The official cited a "scheduling conflict" as the reason behind the change, and said the White House has gotten in touch with the British government to iron out plans for a visit in 2018.
Downing Street did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
During the president's bilateral meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May at the G-20 summit on Saturday, Trump said he still planned to move forward with the visit but dodged on providing any details about timing.

Official reasons, or toxic? Now or never?
Five and a half month scheduling conflict! Incredible obstacle.

I remember when Barack and Michelle visited with the Queen and she seemed so pleased to see them...I think Michelle even hugged her (usually a big no-no with the Queen)...

Bet that's why he's put off the visit.
