UK PM urged to cancel King Charles US visit after Trump insults
UK Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has called for King Charles' state visit to the US next month to be cancelled following President Trump's derogatory comments about Britain. Davey argued the visit should not proceed amid Trump's 'illegal war' in the Middle East and energy bill increases for British families. Trump previously referred to Starmer as 'our once-great ally' and criticized his post-victory conflicts. The state visit would be seen as a 'diplomatic coup' for Trump, Davey stated, according to Sky News. This comes as Iran faces escalating conflict with the US and Israel, with reports of Tehran preparing for a six-month war. The UK government has not yet commented on the cancellation request.
