The state visit has ignited backlash, with accusations of Trump spreading hate and harming democratic norms. Demonstrations are expected, as activists and some MPs oppose the visit, deeming it inappropriate. Despite these controversies, Downing Street sees the visit as a chance to enhance UK-US relations.
Donald Trump is making two visits to the UK this year, focusing on his Scottish golf courses and a full-blown state visit in September.
Protesters have accused Trump of spreading hate, accelerating climate breakdown, and undermining democratic norms, responding to the planned state visit with a wave of demonstrations.
Several MPs in Westminster have spoken out against the state visit, calling it inappropriate and urging parliament to deny Trump a platform altogether.
While Downing Street views the trip as a historic opportunity to strengthen UK-US ties, significant backlash and protests from activist groups are anticipated.
