Christian and Labour MP for Tottenham David Lammy said there will be big protests if US President Donald Trump visits the UK.
He made the comment on Twitter on Sunday.
His statement came after The Sunday Times reported that President Trump is scheduled for a working visit to the UK from 26th- 27th February.
Citing unnamed sources, The Sunday Times said the visit has been the diary for 10 days and will merge with the grand opening of the new US embassy in London.
However, it's expected the visit will not be a full state visit, meaning Mr Trump would not meet the Queen.
Prime Minister Theresa May has not confirmed the trip.
Last week, many politicians demanded that the US President's trip be cancelled after he retweeted the head of a British far-right extremist organisation.
