King Charles 'Very Concerned' Trump Will Rant About Immigration During State Visit [View all]
https://www.thedailybeast.com/king-charles-very-concerned-donald-trump-will-rant-about-immigration-during-state-visit/King Charles worried Trump will stoke migration fears
King Charles III is “very concerned” that President Donald Trump could launch into an unfiltered rant about immigration while standing alongside him during his state visit to the United Kingdom in September.
A civil servant also told the Daily Beast that there was a risk Trump could upend protocol and make politicized comments when delivering a traditional speech at his state banquet.
Trump claimed a “horrible invasion” of migrants was “killing Europe” while visiting Scotland on Friday, a friend of the monarch told the Daily Beast.
The palace was already anxious about Trump’s visit because of his trolling of Canada—a British “realm” which counts the king as head of state—as the “51st state.”
But those concerns pale in comparison to the prospect of Trump using the official visit with the king as a platform to make further inflammatory remarks about immigration in the U.K.
