The Royal Borough of Greenwich has "barred" Donald Trump after councillors called for his visit to the UK to be abandoned.
Earlier this week, America's ambassador in London signalled that Mr Trump is due to visit early next year - sparking fresh calls for mass demonstrations against the president.
And at a meeting on Tuesday night, the Labour council added its voice to the protests by calling on the Government to abandon the plans.
Greenwich Council said it adopted a motion calling for a state visit to be abandoned, while also declaring that “should a state visit go ahead, President Trump would not be welcome in the Borough”.
