The Issue

As a concerned citizen, I find it deeply troubling that a State Visit by King Charles to the United States is being planned amidst a time of significant political discord and fundamentally differing viewpoints between the UK/EU and the USA. This event does not align with the current geopolitical tensions and strategic priorities of our nation.

There is a growing divide between the UK/EU and the USA, particularly highlighted by the distinct difference in foreign policy: while the UK and EU view Russia as their primary threat, President Trump has deemed Iran as the enemy. These differences have been underscored by various statements and actions that have been made by President Trump and members of his administration, which have been perceived by many in the UK as both insulting and offensive. Despite our historical alliance and unwavering support to the USA—often standing alongside them in global conflicts—it’s concerning how these remarks have caused friction and resentment among our citizens.

Furthermore, the UK government has made it clear that it does not support an all-out war on Iran, understanding that such a conflict would only serve to further destabilize the region. This divergence in our countries' outlooks only emphasizes the unsuitability of a State Visit by King Charles, which could be misconstrued as a political endorsement at a time when the UK staunchly disagrees with certain U.S. policies.

Our historical ties with the United States are deeply valued and cherished, but it is crucial that these relationships are nurtured carefully. We need to ensure that they are based on mutual respect, understanding, and collaborative future goals. Therefore, hosting a State Visit under these strained circumstances sends the wrong message and could further deepen the existing divide rather than heal it.

Therefore, we urge decision-makers to cancel the planned State Visit by King Charles to the USA until such time that our countries’ relations and alignments in international policies are more closely aligned and tensions have been duly addressed.

Please, sign this petition to stand for a diplomatic approach that upholds the values of respect and aligns with our national interest.
