Press release: Response to UK state visit offer to Trump

The UK’s Stop Trump Coalition has pledged to maximise the level of protest against Trump’s state visit to the UK, after Keir Starmer communicated the invitation today.

It is a disgrace to invite Trump for a state visit. It comes at a time when he is in the middle of blackmailing Ukraine into signing over its mineral wealth, and posting videos about his plans for a “Trump Gaza” resort, as Palestinians in Gaza contintue to search under the rubble for their loved ones.

Hundreds of thousands of people protested against Trump’s previous state visit, during his first term.

A Stop Trump Coalition spokesperson said:

“This is the latest embarrassing step in Starmer’s attempts to toady to Trump and provide a cloak of respectability to Trumpism.

“The British people reject Trumpism and all those in power who appease Trump. History will not be kind to this club of Trumpism cheerleaders.

“This is not diplomacy, it is a disgrace, and a new low for a British Prime Minister, cosying up to a dangerous and megalomaniac US President rather than working to hold him accountable for his division, hate, and greed.

“He has gone beyond being a poodle – he is licking Trump’s boots and then saying thank you.

“This state visit invitation does not represent what the people of Britain think of Trump, and we will be on the streets to show it.”
