Why? if there is somebody who can talk down trump it’s the king.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump tries to buy the palace in return for lifting tariffs and us bending over for the US as usual.
Even if the threats to greenland isn’t considered justification enough, the direct tariff threats should be.
I’m normally inclined to let the royals and the politicians suck it up to the US: it’s their job…but this time around we need to push back vigorously. A royal snub would be the perfect first step.
I was on board with this visit initially, as I considered it an unfortunate but necessary diplomatic exercise to keep the psychotic paedophile on our side. But I would fully support rescinding the offer and telling him to fuck off until he stops bullying supposed ‘allies’.
He has shown time and time again that buttering him up gets you nowhere. He will just rip up and renege on whatever agreement was made when he thinks of something else he wants to extort from us.
Appeasement does not work. You just end up contorting yourself further and further in knots trying to satisfy them while getting absolutely nothing in return.
I don’t think that would be wise. Charles is probably the person from the UK that can gain the most respect from Trump and have a hope in hell using soft power to get the trade deal back up and running and discuss the tariffs. He’d be more likely to secure a positive outcome than Starmer, especially as he can keep neutral media wise.
Deciding to cancel the visit just damages the chances with no real positive outcome (it’s not like it would change Trumps actions) he’d probably just throw a huff and double down on it.
We’re beyond the “Lets talk him down” and “Let’s try to reason with him” point. There’s only one way to deal with this lunatic now and we all know what that way is

At this point, Charles’s visit to the US looks more like appeasement than anything else.
I don’t know how your country works but he can’t cancel his visit can he? Isn’t Charles the head of state would be like the guy who cuts the grass at the white house telling Trump he is not allowed to perv on teenage girls.
A US visit just seems stomach churning awful now.
I don’t care if Trump backs down later – there needs to be some tangible consequences for making the threat in the first place – and cancelling all Royal visits seems a good first step.
Cancelling the kings visit out of some moral high ground is short sighted.
The king going and using soft power is the correct move geopolitical isn’t always hard people.
Especially when you are dealing with Trump…
