Calls to Cancel Trump's UK State Visit After Zelensky Dispute

Calls are mounting for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to cancel Donald Trump's upcoming state visit to the UK following an explosive confrontation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Critics argue that Trump's behavior during the meeting, where he accused Zelensky of disrespect and gambling with global safety, makes it inappropriate for the UK to honor him with a state visit. Starmer, however, has dismissed these calls, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong relationship with the U.S. at a time when European security is fragile. Some political leaders, including Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie, argue that honoring Trump risks legitimizing his divisive politics. Despite the controversy, Trump remains eager for the visit, which would mark a historic second invitation from the British monarchy. The situation continues to evolve, with public sentiment largely against Trump's visit.
