Trump plans visit to U.K. after citizens tried to ban him

Donald Trump will travel to the United Kingdom later this month to celebrate the reopening of his Turnberry golf course, just months after British lawmakers debated banning the billionaire from entering their country.

According to the Washington Post, the presumptive Republican nominee will travel to the U.K. on June 24 and has yet to announce any meetings with foreign leaders.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has previously described Trump as “stupid, divisive and wrong,” but recently said his country’s “special relationship” with the U.S. would remain intact if Trump makes it to the White House.

“Very exciting that one of the great resorts of the world, Turnberry, will be opening today after a massive $200 million investment,” Trump reportedly said in a press release issued by his resort.

“I own it and I am very proud of it. I look forward to attending the official opening of this great development on June 24,” he added.

Though former Republican nominee Mitt Romney visited London ahead of the 2012 election, it is unclear whether Trump will make a stop in the British capital during his visit.

London’s newly-elected Mayor Sadiq Khan has been especially critical of Trump’s proposal to bar non-American Muslims from entering the U.S. Khan recently invited Trump to visit his city, however, so he could “educate” the businessman about Islam.

Trump has not announced plans to visit other countries before the November election.
