US EditionSir Ed Davey to boycott Donald Trump state dinner with King Charles in Gaza protest
Sir Ed Davey is protesting President Trump's Gaza policy by boycotting the UK state banquet, highlighting ongoing humanitarian concerns and political tensions in the region.
- On Wednesday, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey announced he will boycott the Windsor Castle state banquet during US President Donald Trump's visit from September 17 to 19.
- Citing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Sir Ed Davey boycotts Donald Trump's banquet, protesting Trump's failure to end the war and mixed signals on Gaza's future.
- Davey wrote on X that `I'm boycotting the state banquet to send a message to both Donald Trump and Keir Starmer that they cannot close their eyes and wish away the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.`
- Following past precedent, the boycott echoes refusals by former Lib Dem leader Sir Vince Cable and others, while Conservative critics condemned it as `deep disrespect` to His Majesty King Charles.
- The timing positions a rare diplomatic honour as Donald Trump's second state visit from September 17 to 19 excludes a Parliament address due to the House of Commons and House of Lords not sitting after his July trip hosting Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in Scotland.
