Trump: "I looked forward to going but I thought the prime minister's statement that it was 'absurd,' that it was an absurd idea, was nasty," he told reporters as lef the White House for a trip to Kentucky. "I thought it was an inappropriate statement. All she had to do was say, 'No, we're not interested.'"

Yeah, I'm an Orange Goblin fan and saw that too. It's not that they've particularly been singled out, it's that it's generally becoming harder for bands to get these visas, as there's been some kind of policy change under the recent administration that routinely throws up last minute red tape.
I genuinely can't think what the reasoning is behind these new Draconian policies.
