Tell Starmer to cancel Trumps's state visit

Posted: 21st August 2025

Disgracefully, Keir Starmer has invited Donald Trump for a second state visit to Britain in September. Trump’s support for Israel has been central to its continuing genocide against the Palestinian people. PSC has joined with a wide range of campaigns and civil society groups to call for the visit to be cancelled. Will you add your voice to this demand by signing the petition today?

Since taking office, Trump has already surpassed even the shameful record of his predecessor in the aid and encouragement that he has given to the horrors that Israel is inflicting on the Palestinian people. While plans are laid for lavish meals at Windsor Castle, Palestinians are being bombed and deliberately starved to death with his support.  

Trump has provided huge support for Israel’s genocidal violence in the Gaza Strip. He has sold almost $12 billion in arms, defense equipment and military training to Israel. He has undermined international law by sanctioning the ICC judges who rightly issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant for war crimes. He has publicly supported plans to forcibly expel the 2 million Palestinians living there.  

Trump’s presidency threatens all of humanity: it increases the risk of war and military escalation, runaway climate breakdown, and the ramping up of far-right racism and attacks on all our rights. If the visit goes ahead, PSC will be protesting as part of a broad coalition against Trump in London on Wednesday 17 September, the day that he arrives. Before that, we are calling on Starmer to cancel the state visit today.
