Trump visit to Britain still on despite outcry
LONDON — President Trump’s order barring U.S. entry to people from seven majority-Muslim nations is “divisive, discriminatory and wrong,” British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said Monday.
[...] he rebuffed calls for the government to cancel Trump’s planned state visit to the United Kingdom because of the temporary ban.
Britain’s three biggest opposition parties have all called on the government to revoke Trump’s state visit, planned for later this year, and an online petition opposing the trip has more than 1.3 million signatures.
State visits involve lavish ceremony, generally with a stay at Buckingham Palace as the guest of Queen Elizabeth II.
