Donald Trump to speak at Westminster? British Speaker says 'No Thanks'
The speaker of Britain's House of Commons said he would not support any plans for US President Donald Trump to address parliament during a state visit planned for later this year, citing Trump's temporary immigration ban as a factor.
More than 1.8 million people in Britain have signed a petition calling for Trump's planned visit to be cancelled or downgraded to avoid embarrassing Queen Elizabeth, part of a grassroots backlash against his immigration policies.
