If President Trump thought a transatlantic outcry over his online sharing of far-right anti-Muslim Twitter posts might begin subsiding Thursday, that seems to have been a political miscalculation. She caught further flak when she quickly invited Trump to make a state visit, a ceremony-laden event that would be hosted by Queen Elizabeth II. The prime minister has already come under strong pressure to call off Trump’s state visit, the date for which has not been set. But Rudd noted that no arrangements had yet been made for Trump’s state visit, raising speculation that the event might be quietly placed on long-term hold. Even some British supporters of Trump have expressed unease over his seemingly open support for a group regarded as being on the distant margins of British political discourse.
