British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has rejected calls to cancel a planned state visit for President Trump
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has rejected calls to cancel a planned state visit for U.S. President Donald Trump, despite mounting criticism over Trump’s recent clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The row erupted after Trump accused Zelenskiy of lacking gratitude for U.S. support, casting doubt on America’s commitment to Ukraine.
The invitation, extended by King Charles and delivered by Starmer during a high-profile meeting at the White House on Friday, would make Trump the first elected leader to receive two British state visits. However, opposition voices, including Scottish National Party leader John Swinney and Conservative lawmaker Alicia Kearns, have urged the government to reconsider.
