The Labour Party leader has turned down the offer to attend a state banquet for the US President (Picture: Getty) Jeremy Corbyn has refused to attend a state banquet for US President Donald Trump when he’s granted the honour of his first state visit to the UK in June. The Labour leader said Prime Minister Theresa May was wrong to ‘kowtow’ to a president who tore up international treaties and used ‘racist and misogynist rhetoric’. In a statement, he said that he would however be prepared to meet Mr Trump during his stay to discuss ‘all matters of interest’. ‘Theresa May should not be rolling out the red carpet for a state visit to honour a president who rips up vital international treaties, backs climate change denial and uses racist and misogynist rhetoric,’ Mr Corbyn said. The leader of the Opposition hit out at Theresa May for rolling out the red carpet for the ‘racist’ US leader (Picture: PA) ‘Maintaining an important relationship with the United States does not require the pomp and ceremony of a state visit. ‘It is disappointing that the Prime Minister has again opted to kowtow to this US administration. ‘I would welcome a meeting with President Trump to discuss all matters of interest.’ Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable has already turned down an invitation to the banquet, saying he believed the invitation to Mr Trump had been issued ‘inappropriately’. The white tie dinner banquet at Buckingham Palace, hosted by the Queen, is always one of the key events of any state visit. Mr Corbyn said the PM was wrong to ‘kowtow’ to the president given his controversial politics (Picture: Getty) Mr Trump’s visit will last from 3 to the 5 of June (Picture: Getty) It is traditionally attended by senior politicians – including the leader of the opposition – and other dignitaries. Mr Corbyn attended a state banquet in honour of Chinese President Xi Jinping shortly after becoming Labour leader in 2015. However, during the last state visit – made by King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands in October – he was represented by shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry. On that occasion, he was believed to have been attending a family event. The president’s upcoming trip to the UK has been upgraded to a state visit after he was only allowed a working one last year.
