How Trump’s visit to the UK stirred political tensions in the country Opinion|karsbreanne
On Monday June 3, United States President Donald Trump arrived at Stansted Airport in London, beginning his three-day state visit to the United Kingdom.
As an American living in London, I've watched the Trump presidency unfold from afar, and I must admit I am grateful for the distance. I've watched as the country's political system has brought shame upon itself, and often find myself wondering how exactly we got here. But the answer is in the same fuelling of hateful and divisive rhetoric that Trump has brought with him to the United Kingdom on this state visit.
Trump is looking out for the interests of himself and a select few, therefore every action he undertakes should be viewed with the intention of furthering those interests. While we may laugh at his audacity, hundreds of thousands of people elected him as president of the United States. Contested topics such as the NHS and Brexit have serious consequences, not only for Britain but other states as well.
