“If the government really wants to show that it wants an end to Trump’s illegal war, then it should cancel the King’s visit.”
The Stop Trump Coalition have launched a public statement calling for the King’s State visit to the US to be cancelled. You can add your name here.
As the dates for the King’s state visit to the US are confirmed, we are renewing our urgent call to cancel the trip.
If you haven’t signed the petition already, please sign here. Trump’s war in Iran has killed thousands and is driving a global energy crisis that will push the UK’s long-enduring cost-of-living crisis to another level. We will all pay the price for Trump’s war.
The King’s visit next month will serve as an endorsement of this illegal war and Trump’s constant disregard for international law.
Keir Starmer has made a big point of claiming that the UK is not involved in Trump’s war – but has allowed the US to use British bases to launch its attacks.
As the cost of the war bites, and Trump insults the UK daily, it is unacceptable that Starmer will continue his failed strategy of appeasing Trump by sending the King to wine and dine with the warmonger-in-chief.
If the government really wants to show that it wants an end to Trump’s illegal war, then it should cancel the King’s visit and follow Spain’s example in stopping US use of British bases and airspace for the war.
