The White House is currently working on scheduling US President Donald Trump's official visit to the United Kingdom, a senior administration's official told reporters on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, the Sky news broadcaster reported Trump would postpone his planned visit to London until 2018.

"The United Kingdom has extended invitation for state visit. The president has accepted and he is being working toward this way," the official told reporters.

The opposition built up in response to Trump's immigration policies and his executive order blocking travelers from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.
