One million sign petition to stop Trump's UK visit
One million have now signed the petition to stop Trump’s state visit to the UK. Theresa May invited Trump to be hosted by the Queen during a state visit to the UK this year.
The visit aims to celebrate and deepen the friendship between the leaders of the UK and the US.
The petition, on the UK government’s website, states: ‘Donald Trump should be allowed to enter the UK in his capacity as head of the US government, but he should not be invited to make an official State Visit because it would cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen’.
The number of signatures a government petition needs to acquire before it gets debated in parliament is 100,000. Although over a million have now signed the petition, 10 Downing Street confirmed that the UK would not withdraw its invitation to Trump.
The petition can be viewed and signed here.
