US President Donald Trump is set to visit Britain later this year, after he and British Prime Minister Theresa May tasked officials today with finalising the details, her office said.
Following talks between the two leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, officials were set to work on planning a trip -- something highly likely to be met with large-scale protests.
Within days of him taking office a year ago, May invited Trump to pay a prestigious state visit that would include a red-carpet welcome from Queen Elizabeth II.

Trump had been expected to travel to London earlier this month for the grand opening of a new, state-of-the-art US embassy.

At their talks in the Swiss ski resort of Davos today, May and Trump discussed Iran, Syria, Brexit, future trade ties and jobs in Northern Ireland.
