Petition against Trump's UK visit gains 70,000 signatures

A petition against US President Donald Trump's upcoming state visit to the UK has gained 70,000 signatures. The petition, titled "Cancel Trump’s state visit," criticizes Trump's actions regarding Ukraine and calls for the invitation to be rescinded. The petition was launched after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer delivered a letter from King Charles III inviting Trump for a second state visit. This invitation is described as "unprecedented," as it marks the first time a US president has been invited for a second state visit. The petition's popularity reflects widespread discontent among some UK citizens regarding Trump's past behavior. In 2017, a similar petition against his first state visit received over 1.8 million signatures.
