The visit of US President Donald Trump in November in the Republic of Ireland was canceled.

A spokesman for the Irish government said the trip had been "postponed for scheduling reasons".

The White House had announced the visit earlier in September.

Trump was scheduled to visit his golf course in Doonbeg, County Clare and Dublin on the weekend of 10-11 November.

Prime Minister Leo Varadkar's office in Taoiseach confirmed that the November visit had been canceled and that "the US side had invoked scheduling reasons".

It will be his first visit to the country since he became president in 2016.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar made a visit to Ireland during his trip to the United States in March.

Trump is scheduled to travel to Paris on November 11 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armistice that ended the First World War.

His visit to Ireland was to coincide with this trip. We do not know if he will go to France again.

Irish politicians and activists said they would stage demonstrations during Trump's visit.

Brendan Howlin, leader of the Labor Party in the Republic of Ireland, said that Mr Trump was "not a friend of democracy or human rights".

The Green Party had called on the Irish government to cancel the visit.

The US president owns a golf complex in County Clare, Trump Doonbeg, which he bought in February 2014.

He last visited Doonbeg in May 2014 and was to return a few months before the US presidential election in the summer of 2016, but later abandoned the plan.

The taoiseach Leo Varadkar invited Mr Trump to Ireland at a meeting at St. Patrick's Day in Washington in March.

In 2017, Varadkar's predecessor, Enda Kenny, also proposed to the US President to come and visit him.
