Huh. I think they should have him over now. US foreign policy seems like it has become much less antagonistic. People should just ignore what Trump says and listen to the officials. It's gradually going back on the rails.

Not sure this is happening domestically, though. Sad

British lawmakers to debate Trump’s state visit

By Karla Adam February 19 at 10:14 AM
LONDON — British lawmakers on Monday will debate whether to withdraw an invitation to President Trump for a state visit — ­an offer extended with un­precedented speed.

The debate, to be held in Parliament’s Westminster Hall, was triggered after a petition calling on the British government to cancel the state visit amassed more than 1.8 million signatures. A counter-petition urging the government to support the visit, signed by 300,000, will also be debated.

Although many of Europe’s leaders were unenthusiastic about Trump’s election victory, British Prime Minister Theresa May has sought to curry favor with the new U.S. president. May was the first foreign leader to meet with Trump at the White House, and she wasted little time in offering him the royal treatment in the form of a full state visit, at a date to be determined.
