Protesters in Britain promise to disrupt any state visit by President Donald Trump amid reports that Queen Elizabeth II will invite him to visit in June.
Activists said they were prepared to cause “maximum disruption” to President Donald Trump’s U.K. state visit, which will take place in June.
Queen Elizabeth II extended the invitation to a state visit at the suggestion of the British government, led by Prime Minister Theresa May. “It’s simply astonishing that after all the discrediting Trump has received in recent weeks in the U.S., Theresa May, an utterly discredited prime minister, is to call for him to have this unusual honor,” Dearden told Newsweek.
In a statement, the White House confirmed that it had accepted the invitation."This state visit will reaffirm the steadfast and special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom," the White House said. “This is a president who has systematically assaulted all the shared values that unite our two countries, and unless Theresa May is finally going to stand up to him and object to that behaviour, she has no business wasting taxpayers’ money on all the pomp, ceremony and policing costs that will come with this visit.”
