UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has turned down an invitation to a state dinner with 'misogynist' Donald Trump when he visits the United Kingdom in June. Mr Corbyn is the latest in a number of politicians to snub the US president, including Commons Speaker John Bercow and Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable.
Mr Corbyn has criticised Prime Minister Theresa May, arguing that she 'should not be rolling out the red carpet' to honour a president who 'rips up vital international treaties, backs climate change denial and uses racist and misogynist rhetoric'. The Labour leader says he would welcome a meeting with President Trump to discuss all matters of interest.
