Trump 'DOES want to come to Britain' - but only when it's a proper State visit and 'probably this year' as it's revealed he cancelled trip because of 'too little love'
Donald Trump's state visit to the UK could happen later this year, according to reports.
Sources close to the US President claim he will be visiting London on an official visit some time within the next 12 months.
An official invitation for a state visit has been accepted and was expected to happen this year, although Downing Street sources are coy on when exactly it will take place.
'Any discussion about a working visit was absolutely separate to the State visit, an invitation for which has been both given and accepted,' a source told the Daily Express.
US diplomats in the UK were surprised when Trump tweeted he would not be visiting the UK next month for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony to open the new £750million US Embassy in Nine Elms.

Trump said he was was 'not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London' - despite the fact the deal was agreed upon by the Bush administration.
He also claimed the move from Grosevnor Square to Vauxhall put the Embassy in an 'off location'.
It was also revealed that Trump snubbed the trip to the UK as he felt he had 'not been shown enough love' by the British government.
THe source told the Sunday Times: 'He felt he had not been shown enough love by the British government.
'He started to believe that the British government thought the same way about him as Sadiq Khan [the mayor of London] and Jeremy Corbyn [the Labour leader], who have made clear their disdain for him and said he is not welcome in the UK.'
Despite Trump's anger at the deal, it is believed he is still keen to visit Britain on a state visit in the near future.
They said: 'A State visit will happen sooner than people think. And the feeling is that it won't be Balmoral Castle (the Queen's Scottish residence), but London.'
It is also believed that Trump will use the occasion to visit his two golf courses, which include the historic Turnberry near Glasgow and Trump International Golf Links near Aberdeen.
On the BBC's Andrew Marr show today, shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry branded Mr Trump a 'danger' and a 'racist', saying she did not want him in Britain
A source who knows Trump personally said: 'He needs something more significant than the opening of an embassy – which, for whatever reason, he has taken against – to come to. He does not like cutting ribbons unless its for one of his own buildings.'
Stepping up the rhetoric against Mr Trump today, shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry branded him a 'danger' and a 'racist', saying she did not want him in Britain.
Ms Thornberry told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show: 'I don't want him to come to the country.
'I don't think that he should have been given an invitation in the way that he was. That it was wrong for Theresa May to so prematurely give him a state visit.
She added: 'He is an asteroid of awfulness that has fallen on this world. I think that he is a danger and I think that he is a racist.'
Ms Thornberry said: 'What kind of visit did he think he was going to get? Did he think he was going to visit in a gold coach?
'Well, you know, Londoners are not terribly impressed with him. Surprise, surprise, and neither, frankly, are the British.'
Earlier this week, Boris Johnson and Theresa May clashed over Donald Trump's cancelled UK visit in a row over the real reason he called off the trip.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan was among those who commented saying it was clear that Mr Trump had 'got the message that many Londoners' did not want him here.
It led to the Foreign Secretary suggesting that Mr Khan had scuppered the visit, branding him a 'puffed up, pompous popinjay'.

But minutes before, a 10 Downing Street spokesman had insisted that Theresa May did not blame the London Mayor for the cancellation.
Mr Johnson tweeted at about 11am: 'The US is the biggest single investor in the UK — yet Khan & Corbyn seem determined to put this crucial relationship at risk.
'We will not allow US-UK relations to be endangered by some puffed up pompous popinjay in City Hall.'
Then in a sharp contradiction to Mr Johnson's suggestions, a spokesman for Number 10 said the 'special relationship' had not been damaged by the Mayor's tweets.
He told The Times: 'No, the US and the UK are natural, resilient, strong partners and allies, and we do more together than any two countries in the world.'
Mr Khan had earlier said in a statement: 'It appears that President Trump got the message from the many Londoners who love and admire America and Americans, but find his policies and actions the polar opposite of our city's values of inclusion, diversity and tolerance.
'His visit next month would without doubt have been met by mass peaceful protests.
'This just reinforces what a mistake it was for Theresa May to extend an invitation of a state visit in the first place.'

The row over the visit, which sparked headlines around the world, threatens a new crisis in Britain's relations with the Trump administration.
One senior source suggested Mr Trump cancelled because he was unhappy about the arrangements and the scale of the visit.
The reversal comes despite Mr Trump telling Theresa May, who was seen campaigning for Sutton and Cheam MP Paul Scully for the vote in the London local elections in May today, that he would come to Britain in the New Year last month.
Preparations were advanced for a 'working' visit to officially open the embassy, but the Mail understands this role will now be performed by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Mr Trump was also scheduled to hold talks with Mrs May in No 10, with February 26 and 27 marked in the diary. Downing Street had hoped to confirm the dates this week.
The President was not due to meet the Queen until a full state visit at a later date, and a second source said the lack of 'bells and whistles' and royal involvement next month visit may have discouraged him.
Former Ukip leader Nigel Farage, an ally of the US President, suggested that concerns about protests may have been the real reason for the visit's cancellation.
'It's disappointing - he has been to countries all over the world and yet he has not been to the one with whom he is closest,' Mr Farage said.
Officials have already moved into the £750million US embassy near Battersea Power Station in South London. The new building will open for business on January 16

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he accused London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn of supporting protests.
'Maybe, just maybe, Sadiq Khan, Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party planning mass protests, maybe those optics he didn't like the look of.'
Labour MP Chuka Umunna said it was 'very welcome he is not coming any more', adding: 'He runs counter to British values.'
It has also now emerged that Donald Trump faces the embarrassment of not being invited to the royal wedding this year.
The US President is notoriously sensitive to snubs and might have expected to be asked to attend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's big day in May.
But a Royal Household source pointedly said: 'Although the guest list hasn't yet been announced, there is no reason he would be invited.'
The potential snub is a second setback to Mr Trump following the cancellation of a planned visit to Britain next month.
