The so-called ‘special relationship’ between the US and the UK, which many political commentators claim has deteriorated over the lack of chemistry between US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Theresa May, is bound to take another hit now that London Mayor Sadiq Khan will allow protesters to fly a giant inflatable figure depicting Donald Trump as a baby during the US president's visit.

"His city operations team have met with the organizers and have given them permission to use Parliament Square Garden as a grounding point for the blimp. However, the organizers will also need to receive the necessary approvals from the Metropolitan Police and National Air Traffic Service in order for it to fly.”

Mr Leo Murray, who backed the crowdfunded protest operation against the US President, stated: "Mr Trump really seems to hate it when people make fun of him. So when he visits the UK on Friday, we want to make sure he knows that all of Britain is looking down on him and laughing at him.”

"That's why a group of us have chipped in and raised enough money to have a six-metre high blimp made by a professional inflatables company, to be flown in the skies over Parliament Square during Trump's visit."

Former UKIP leader Mr. Nigel Farage claims the plan to do so was "the biggest insult to a sitting US President ever," and said this would only deteriorate the relationship between the US and the UK further.

US President Donald Trump, accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump, will visit Belgium from 10 till 12 July for a Nato summit together with different other heads of state.

After his short visit to the UK on the 13th, he will be meeting Russian President Putin in Helsinki, Finland on July 16th.
