Will the UK welcome President Trump?
President Trump has been invited on a State visit to the UK
A State visit to Britain has been issued to President Donald Trump. He will travel later this year, despite mounting opposition from the public.
First we speak to Lord Ricketts, former permanent secretary at the FCO, Andrew Bridgen, Conservative MP for North West Leicestershire and James Landal, 麻豆社's diplomatic correspondent. They discuss with John whether this puts the Queen in a "difficult position".
Later we speak to Emma McNally, organiser of the London Women鈥檚 March which took place last weekend and Julian Baggini, writer and philosopher. They suggest that protesting against his immigration policy will achieve solidarity.
