Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has criticised Britain’s invitation to Mr Donald Trump for a second state visit, saying it undermined his government’s effort to project a united front against the US President’s talk of annexing Canada.
Mr Starmer, who is trying to improve trading ties with the US after Britain left the European Union, has sought to play to its strengths when dealing with Mr Trump, talking up its security expertise, pledging higher defence spending, and offering the pomp and pageantry that comes with a state visit.
He is right. No other nation with self-respect should be granting any state visit from the FOTUS (Felon Of The United States). He is an adversary to us all and should be shunned on the international stage, period.
Tell your US Embassy representatives that you will be happy to reconsider engaging once the leadership has changed.
As a British person, I’m unclear how your comment relates to the UK.
