UK State Visit Invitation to Trump Stands Amid Immigration Order - PM May
18:53 GMT 30.01.2017 (Updated: 11:31 GMT 06.08.2022) Theresa May has been urged to cancel the invitation after Donald Trump issued an executive order last Friday blocking refugees and nationals of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the United States.
DUBLIN (Sputnik) — The United Kingdom stands behind its invitation of US President Donald Trump to the country this year despite Trump's executive order on immigration, UK Prime Minister Theresa May said during a press conference in Dublin on Monday.
"I have… issued that invitation for a state visit for President Trump to the United Kingdom, and that invitation stands," May told reporters.
The prime minister stressed that the two nations are close allies and share a special relationship.
Following the decree, an online petition was published at the website of the UK Parliament, demanding Trump be barred from making a state visit to the United Kingdom. More than 1.4 million people had signed the petition by Monday evening.
