King’s Visit with Trump a ‘National Embarrassment’ as the President’s warmongering continues to hurt the British People

The Stop Trump Coalition is demanding the UK stop greenlighting Trump’s reckless actions with royal visits and use of UK military bases

27th April 2026

London, UK: Campaigners staged a mock state visit this morning with people in giant masks of King Charles and President Trump holding a giant prop missile with ‘COMPLICIT’ written across it. 

Demanding an end to US use of UK military bases to conduct strikes in Iran, the Stop Trump Coalition is also calling on the Government to stop cosying up to Donald Trump, citing the cost to ordinary British citizens as well as how back to back State Visits are emboldening the rogue President at a time when what is needed most is accountability.

Jake Atkinson, Spokesperson for the Stop Trump Coalition, said: “Keir Starmer sending the King to wine and dine with the warmonger-in-chief signals we are happy to green-light Trump’s illegal actions around the world, no matter how much chaos they cause. 

“Ordinary people across the UK are struggling more and more with the cost of living whilst Trump’s war on Iran has driven up prices. Honouring Trump like this is a slap in the face to so many who are struggling, and suggests to the President he can continue violating international law and be rewarded with more pageantry.

“Being joined at the hip to Trump’s US is not just making us complicit in war crimes, but hurting the British people. From teaming up with Big Pharma to hike our medicines prices to pressuring us to drop our Digital Services Tax on the biggest tech companies, Donald Trump wants to extract as much as he can from us for the benefit of the super rich and mega-corporations in the US. 

“The King’s refusal to meet with Epstein victims further reinforces that this visit is not to the benefit of anyone but Trump and the political elites. It should never have gone ahead.”
