The moment Donald Trump had sworn in as President of the United States there have been many issues that were not appreciated by other countries. Recently, U.K. had denied Trump's visit to meet Queen Elizabeth II stating that it would be an "embarrassment."
A petition on the Parliament's website had been signed not to give Trump a full state visit to the UK, the petition had gained almost 926,000 signatures in less than 48 hours. It was launched in response to Trump's order in banning people from seven major Muslim countries from travelling to the U.S., as per Business Insider.
The American President was invited for a state visit after he met the Prime Minister Theresa May in Washington D.C. However, his order on the Muslim travel ban has been the reason for his denial to enter the country.
According to Yahoo, the petition reads "Donald Trump's well documented misogyny and vulgarity disqualifies him from being received by her Majesty the Queen or the Prince of Whales." It was London's first Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan who spoke against Trump's visit.
It appears that this is not the first time Trump has been a focus of a Parliamentary petition, back in December 2015, Trump was banned from the UK when he was a Republican candidate. It was known as the most popular petition to date at that time.
As for the Prime Minister, she had received criticism from other politicians for her failure to condemn Trump's travel ban policy. She was also forced to issue a statement saying that she does not agree with the ban.
Graham Guest of Leeds started the petition and he said if Trump is photographed standing next to the Queen it will make him look like a statesman, which he is actually not. He further added that he should not come to the country at all in any capacity.
