Rejected petition American Government not UK tax payer should pay security cost Trump State Visit
Rejected on
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 was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
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.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
