Rejected petition President Trump should make an address to both Houses of Parliament

The US/UK relationship has never been more important.

President Trump is an Anglophile, represents our most important alliance & has stated that we will be at "the front of the line" for trade deals.

We should celebrate this relationship via an address to both Houses during his state visit.

More details

Speaker Bercow has indicated that he is disinclined to permit President Trump to address both Houses in Westminster Hall because of his temporary moratorium on refugees.

However; such an address would not be about the man. Instead it would be a celebration of the Transatlantic Alliance at this critical time in British history.

Furthermore, declining an address could unneccessarily jeopardise an opportunity to get the best possible deal with the US in subsequent trade and diplomatic talks.
