Im no fan of President Trump but hes been right about starmer and the damage he’s done to the special relationship. This needs to go ahead to repair that.

I have to agree with Davey. We do the Americans no favours receiving a tyrant

Inclined to agree tbh, it’s so fractious and I can’t see it going well.
The way Trump has spoken about the UK, the stuff with Andrew.. it’s been on hold since Feb and hasn’t improved so not sure what the point is.
Just read that William is visiting in July for the World Cup anyway so that’s probably the better soft power moment rather than sending the brother of the guy about to be on trial for his links to Epstein

But the government will send him no matter what

LETS CALL FOR THE KING TO BE CANCELLED. AND ALL HIS SCROUNGING RELATIVES.
BenidormBarry on
never thought I’d sympathise with the crown, but amercians have managed the impossible.
siding with King Charles not visiting the nonce they have as a president.
If we hadn’t left the EU we wouldn’t be so concerned with placating that easy peeler man baby in the first place.Â

Daft to call for it to be cancelled. The US is the world’s biggest superpower and as a country, an incredibly significant trading partner. You don’t have to like Trump but the facts remain. Diplomacy is required. Like politics used to be. Not teenaged petulance that we too often see today.
Senior_Sentence_566 on
Although widely expected, and no doubt lots of planning has happened, I don’t know that it has been officially announced therefore I wouldn’t expect a big announcement cancelling it. It will be quietly postponed “to a later date” which may or not happen.

Are you kidding
Starmer will be driving him over.
The greens wont go as it cost energy or common sense which they dont have much off.
Im outside the UK watching the birth of sectarian polics. Fisr the ejection of Jewish voices in labour. Now Muslim alliance with greens to be taken over soon to inverse their current policies gays etc.
Pass the popcorn I see it happening until there’s mass immergrantion to a fresh place.

Stooping to the level of petulance displayed by Trump really isn’t in our best interests currently. The US is a hugely important ally, whether people like to hear it or not.

Of course the king should be going, he knew exactly what Trump was when he agreed to go, now he has to suffer the embarrassment of his decisions.
cloud1445 on
Absolutely has to be cancelled. If he comes we’re pretty much endorsing the war.
Astriania on
Nah, he should go, and tell Trump to his face what an absolute tit he is and how he’s single handedly destroying the US’s place in the world. He’s probably one of about 3 people worldwide who has a chance of actually getting through.
NGeoTeacher on
How is there even a debate over this? The idea that he deserved to a second state visit was already a silly one, but he has spent the last few months openly insulting us, including our armed forces. I understand the diplomatic reasons behind state visits and Trump, more than most leaders, has an enormous ego that is massaged by the silly pageantry of gold carriages and all that, but the current US administration is not a reliable ally. We’re not getting anything back from a state visit.
Although, if he does come, I’d be glad to join in the mother of all protests.

No don’t cancel it, we need the american bailout for our recession this year

Oh no the King of England cancels! What a Bloody Travesty!
Who cares about King Charles?
He’s an idiot and the Monarchy is nearing the end. Soon Allah will be your King. SMH
bigkahuna1uk on
It should be cancelled. He’s been invited to our shores twice and each time he’s disrespected the monarch whether intentional or not. He’s made disparaging remarks after the visit. Now he’s making direct disparaging remarks towards the Prime Minister, the Government. He’s made unfounded racial allegations about the London Mayor and parts of England. Remember what he said about Birmingham being a no go area for white people. Enough is enough. We need to stop bending over backwards to placate his miscreant behaviour. The special relationship is supposed to work both ways but he just wants undying fealty.
DarthKrataa on
I like this idea for no other reason than how the American press would respond.
Your president has pissed us off so much we’re cancelling his state visit. I actually think this is how we should deal with Trump, we do shit like but make it very clear in our communications is not got anything to do with American people but rather the behaviour of one man.
We withdraw the invitation for Trump the person.
Same with the the world cup, we don’t send our teams if he keeps this shit up.
Just use soft power like this against the cunt.

I’m pretty sure Charles doesn’t look forward to banquet of McDonald’s served in a gaudy gold-leaf covered room manned by goons that look more inbred than he is.
Admirable_Mix2745 on
Can’t we just send him to America on a one way ticket? Charlie will fit in perfectly in MAGAland.
Old-Reputation-78 on
If they’ve got any sense, they won’t officially cancel it so as not to wake up the baby, but will postpone it due to some mysterious ‘illness’ with the PR carefully reminding everyone that the King is going through cancer treatment. Then everyone leaves with whatever dignity is intact at this point.
Gotta_Frog on
The King isn’t and should never be a political pawn.
Inevitable_Driver291 on
Clearly Charles should continue with this visit. Any acts against the US should be done so in conjunction with our allies. Calls to poke them in the eye, to satisfy feelings of anger, it’s student politics.

It seems unlikely.
So what could Charles Do to signify something about trump and the US during the state visit ?
I am quite certain That Elizabeth II would have find clever Words and symbols maybe a very significant piece of jewelry that could be links to a story against thé US or in support of all the nation trump has disrespected
If we hadn’t left the EU we wouldn’t be so concerned with placating that easy peeler man baby in the first place.Â
