Lib Dem chief whip Alistair Carmichael is in talks with MPs from across the Commons urging them to support an amendment to the Queen's Speech meant to force the Government to modify its Brexit plans.
State visits for the coming year are normally listed by the Queen.
The circumstance, however - the speech's role mapping British legislative priorities for the new parliamentary session - remained as crucial and revealing as ever.
"The visit wasn't mentioned in the Queen's Speech because a date hasn't been fixed yet".
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump's planned state visit to Britain later this year got no mention in Queen Elizabeth II's speech to parliament yesterday, raising doubts about whether it will go ahead.
The scaled down version, minus the usual royal procession and pageantry, is a result of the rushed preparations following the snap general election earlier this month that saw May's Conservative Party failing to garner a majority in the House of Commons.
"However the numbers in Parliament itself has forced Mrs May to dump the dementia tax - instead, talking obliquely about a social care consultation; to drop her much vaunted proposals for grammar schools; to forget any thoughts of scrapping free school lunches; and to lose that old Conservative favourite bringing back fox-hunting".
Pentagon chief blasts N.Korea over USA student who died
The State Department has said that Rodman had no hand in the student's release-and Warmbier's father reiterated that point to ABC. North Korea has called US President Donald Trump a "psychopath" - a criticism some have levelled at the leader in Pyongyang.
"As a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, committed to spending zero point seven percent of national income on worldwide development, my government will continue to drive worldwide efforts that increase global security and project British values around the world", she said.
May's attempt to lead a minority government comes on the heels of a fire at Grenfell Tower that killed at least 79 people, one of the country's worst disasters for a generation.
She was accompanied by the Prince of Wales, rather than the Duke of Edinburgh, after Prince Philip was admitted to hospital yesterday.
Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the opposition Labour Party, whose surprisingly strong election performance damaged May, called the speech "thin gruel".
Britain's Queen Elizabeth's crown is carried into the State Opening of Parliament in central London, Britain June 21, 2017.
Britain is trying to persuade Trump to sign a post-Brexit trade deal. She only talked about visits with confirmed dates and we do not yet have a confirmed date, a spokesperson said.
It includes a repeal bill to repeal the European Communities Act which made EU law enforceable in the United Kingdom, as well as several other bills aimed at helping the country cope with Brexit, including an immigration one allowing the government to end free movement from Europe and control the number of people coming from the EU while still attracting "the brightest and the best".
