UK should cancel Donald Trump visit, says Jeremy Corbyn
The Manchester Guardian ^ | June 22, 2018 | Jessica Elgot, Political correspondent

Theresa May has “ample reasons” to cancel Donald Trump’s visit to the UK next month, Jeremy Corbyn has said.

The Labour leader said the escalating trade dispute between US and the EU, as well as the US treatment of child migrant detainees separated from their parents, were reasons enough to rescind the invitation to the US president.

His comments came as Trump threatened to impose tariffs on European cars after Brussels confirmed it would introduce retaliatory levies on American products including bourbon whiskey, Levi’s jeans and Harley-Davidson motorbikes as a response to the US steel and aluminium tariffs.

“Donald Trump needs to understand that declaring a trade war by putting tariffs on aluminium and steel and then building up a series of tit-for-tat series of retaliations, in which the US retreats in on itself and starts a trade war with the rest of the world, is going in a very bad and dangerous direction,” Corbyn said....

According to Meghan Markle’s (the new American Duchess) father, when asked about Trump/Brexit, Prince Harry said “Let’s give Trump a chance...” and that he was “Open to the [Brexit] experiment.” — could be true, could be false. But I wouldn’t be surprised, as his opinions reflect a silent majority of Britains who, let’s be reminded DID vote to leave the E.U.

Today’s political dynamics are too complex for the Left to grasp.

... all the more reason to invite him over so they can attempt to persuade Trump and set him right. (sarcasm) If they really believe they are right then they should confront Trump head on and make their case ... as opposed to retreat.

Corbyn couldn’t find Mexico on a map, much less Texas, Arizona or California.

Hey! But why stop Brits from making asses of themselves?

The Left doesn’t want to debate you, they want to shut you up. If killing you will do that they have no qualms about that.

OMG, I actually agree with Corbyn? The very awful Theresa May had a critical statement about our President and our Southern border. She could have remained silent but never ever misses an opportunity to kick dirt on us.

Our border policies are “disturbing” to Mrs. May.

Corbyn loves his mussies so much.

What a backward way of conducting business: It you disagree with someone then don't talk to him?

Give the left credit for getting this fake news lie to stick as the stupidest people in the world eat it up.

Trump should visit Tommy Robinson.

I agree the visit should be cancelled, because of Tommy Robinson’s situation. Make that loud and clear Mr President. Instead, visit eastern Europe, Austria and Italy in a show of force. Rub it in the face of the EU.

Current Italian politics (Matteo Salvini) regards their ongoing invasion is likely to provide a wedge issue toward dividing the German controlled EU.

The Interior Minister recently blocked ports to migrant transportation organizations facilitating illegal travel from Africa. He has sought NATO assistance (U.S. Sixth Fleet) in blocking human trafficking across the Mediterranean.

We should end all diplomatic ties with the UK until their Mullahs release their incarcerated reporters.
