Ciring Stmper rejected SNP call for X Donald Trump State Travel

The Prime Minister has dismissed a call from the SNP to scrap an unprecedented second state visit for Donald Trump after a demonstration with Ukraine President Zelanski.

Trump accused the scotland’s first minister of “gambling with gambling” at the White House on Friday, described as “deep upset” by the first minister of Scotland.

John Swine told the BBC that he did not see that a state visit to the US President – presented by the king on Thursday – until he was “absolutely complete with us” in defense of Ukraine.

However, the stormer, which is later hosting a peak of European leaders, including Zelancesi, accused the SNP of using rhetoric and said he would not be distracted.

It followed several SNP MPs, criticizing the Prime Minister’s relations with Trump on social media, including party’s Westminster leader Stephen Flynn, who said the stormer “Better his knees to withdraw their knees and cancels that proposal to travel to the state”.

Before the warm welcome of Zelancesi at Downing Street on Saturday, SNP’s foreign affairs spokesman Stephen Githies accused the Prime Minister of remaining silent on the matter, which he said was “disappointing”.

After the White House exchange, the stormer called both Trump and Zelanski and later reiterated the UK support for Ukraine, stating that “we could stand for a long time with Ukraine”.

Speaking on Laura with Kunsberg on Sunday The program, the stormer said: “I have seen people making rhetoric and take them to Twitter and say what they will do – good for them, I am not interested in it.

“I am interested in what are practical steps, what are the bridge construction that I can do, what are the relationships that I can take forward to take to Europe for permanent peace and take it forward.

“I am not going to turn by SNP or others, who are really trying to ramp the rhetoric without appreciation that what is the most important thing at stake here – we are talking about peace in Europe.”

The stormer used his American visit to present Trump with a letter from the king, offering an initial meeting in Scotland – where Trump owes two golf courses – to discuss the logistics of another state travel.

American presidents of the second period are traditionally not offered state visits and instead have been invited to Windsor Castle with the emperor for tea or lunch instead.

Taking a separate tone from SNP MPs, John Swine said he welcomed the role of the Prime Minister and supported him to try to find a way through a difficult situation.

Talking to BBC Sunday showHe said: “I think it is perfect for the Prime Minister to try to try and try to move forward with the United States because the situation that came out on Friday evening was … upset to see.

“A courageous leader of a courageous country is seen in the fashion that President Zelancesi is completely unacceptable.”

But he said that he could not see that if Trump “was not a firm ally for us in protecting the future of Ukraine, a state trip could move forward.

He said: “It is a completely fundamental need for the President of the United States to any proposal of the state travel to the President of the United States-that it is absolutely full with us in protecting Ukraine and insuring its freedom.

“If we do not do this, I think we are reducing the future of Western democracy.”

John Swine has earlier said that he will use Trump’s affinity for Scotland in a dialect Avoid tariffs being applied on imports For the US, especially on Scotch Whiskey.

He publicly supported Harris, Democratic candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

Zelancesi expected positive conversation with Trump during his visit, including signing a mineral deal that would give the US a real stake in the future of its country, if there is no lump sum security guarantee.

Instead he faced an extraordinary dressing in front of the world media, in which Trump and his vice -president JD Vance demanded that he shows more gratitude for the years of US support.

The Ukrainian President pushed back to suggestions from his more powerful partners that he should work hard to agree with Vladimir Putin. He replied that he was “derogatory”.

After his departure, Zelansky stated that Ukraine “is ready to sign the mineral agreement” but continued his call for the US security guarantee.

The exchange inspired a series of reactions by European leaders with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scollas to repeat their support for Ukraine.

Sir Kir and John Swine Swine varying on the question of a state trip to Donald Trump.

But this is about the only point of dispute between them on this global issue.

It was striking that the first minister went out of his way to repeatedly welcome Sir Kir’s approach in war in Ukraine, and to say that he was “absolutely right” to make a deal with America.

If Sir Kir and Sri Trump are very different characters, the Prime Minister is far more similar with Mr. Swine.

They are both severe men, which are more interested in this point in results than optics.

Mr. Swine stopped slapping Stephen Flyn’s fast -said social media posts, but was clear in support of Sir Kir’s efforts to build a bridge among Western colleagues.

While SNP leaders are always eager to capitalize on any domestic differences with their electoral rivals in labor, they have made it clear that they are in the same team on the international stage.
