The British government has rejected a petition, calling for preventing US President Donald Trump from visiting the UK.
Downing Street says the visit is still on. The Foreign Office says it recognizes the strong views expressed but looks forward to welcoming Trump once dates and arrangements are finalized. Thousands of people have demonstrated and more than 1.8 million have signed an online petition against the visit since Prime Minister Theresa May extended the invitation last month. British lawmakers will hold a non-binding debate on the petition on Monday. The government responds to all petitions on its website if they are signed by more than 10,000 people.
