Liberal Democrat leader, Sir Ed Davey, has urged UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to cancel King Charles’ planned state visit to the United States next month following a series of derogatory comments made by President Donald Trump about Britain.

Davey argued that Starmer should “advise the King to reconsider the state visit scheduled for April,” especially amid the ongoing conflict in Iran.

“At a time when Trump has launched an illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills for British families, it is clear this visit should not go ahead,” Davey stated, as reported by Sky News.

“A state visit from our King would be seen as yet another huge diplomatic coup for President Trump, so it should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.”

This comes after Trump’s recent derogatory remarks about Starmer, where he referred to the UK as “our once-great ally” and criticized Starmer for being involved in conflicts post-victory.
