Petition: As Trump fuels global chaos, King Charles should not pay him a Royal Visit
Signatures:
King Charles is set to visit Washington this April and join Donald Trump to celebrate the upcoming 250th anniversary celebrations of the US.
But at this fragile moment where Trump is conducting an illegal war on Iran – and dragging the world into it – the King’s visit would serve as a statement of support for this illegal war. It must not go ahead.
The King should not pay Trump a royal visit when Trump’s recent attacks on Iran, killing civilians, demonstrate his brazen disregard for international law and human rights.
Appeasing Trump has already seen the UK allow the US to use military bases on British soil to conduct bombing raids on Iran – making us complicit in this illegal war.
Trump has also previously threatened to annex Canada – where the King is head of state. This threat must be taken seriously after his attack on Venezuela and threats towards Greenland.
King Charles has also said that the law must “run its course” in relation to the investigation into his brother Andrew as a result of the Epstein Files. He should say the same for Trump.
If Trump were the head of any other nation, the King would not be visiting his home for festivities.
The UK should be strengthening relationships around the world to make new alliances that reduce our dependency on the US, not further cosying up to Trump.
