American Government not UK tax payer should pay security cost Trump State Visit

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Despite over 2 million signing e petition and Speaker Bercow calling for Trump to be banned from speaking in Parliament, Prime Minister is refusing call off State Visit. In view this decision, hundreds thousands are expected join protests in London which push policing costs well over £15 million

The State Visit is not justified at this stage of the Trump Presidency

It will cause embarrassment to Queen & cause huge public protests at massive cost to tax payer

Presidents Reagan, George H W Bush & Clinton never had state visit to UK throughout their terms of office

Presidents George W Bush & Obama only had state visit after 3 years into their Presidency

If the State Visit goes ahead against will British people the US Government should pay all security costs not British tax payers

Why it was rejected

This petition calls on the American Government, not the UK Government, to take action. You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to ask the Government of the USA to pay certain costs relating to the state visit.
