Talks held over making Trump first US president to be given Freedom of the City of London
During the state visit in September, Donald Trump talks about giving the London freedom with a very symbolic movement.
According to a source, the proposal to give President Trump’s honor was given to the company for giving the US leader the opportunity to meet the US leader and sue against free trade and tariffs at the ceremony.
In addition, it will be a way to mark England, which is the first of Trump trade with questions on the tariffs on steel.
The president was a helicopter at Winfield House housing for the ceremony of the US Ambassador of Windsor Castle for the ceremony in Regent’s Park.
Independent “Our countries would be an important honor for the president, while preparing to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence next year.
“More importantly, it will be an excellent opportunity to address the importance of free trade for the city and the problems of tariffs.
“The symbolism of being allowed to drive your sheep from the bridge and not paying taxes is very important.”
However, it was understood that the President was interested in the idea of honor, while the actor Damian Lewis’s half -brother Sir William Russell was chaired by the Freedom Practices Infrastructure (Policy and Resources) Committee.
According to sources, the sub -committee was warned that the award would be “very controversial ..
The company rarely honored government leaders, and after criticizing the government’s interest in persecution of Rohingya, Myanmar had to withdraw from Aung San Sau Kyi.
However, the official statement is that President Trump is not in the government for a long time.
A spokesman said: “Through the Congress, the heads of the state or government who served only seven years are suitable for honorary freedom.
“The decision to give honorary freedom is based not only with any elected member, but only the joint council-decisive organism.”
The last President of the government, which was worthy of honorary freedom, was Barones Margaret Thatcher, who was known after 10 years of working as prime minister.
Although Dwight Eisenhower fulfilled his role as a commander of the Allied Forces after the Second World War, honorary freedom was never given to a US president.
According to a source, if there is a demand that has not yet been made from the government, the city can change its mind.
This means that the US president is facing a second snub during the state visit. He decides not to ask for the joint session of parliament houses and a state visit one day after the rise of parliament for the recess of the conference season.
This, when Pope Benedict came to a state visit in 2010, although the day after the start of the receipt was given in honor of addressing the parliamentarians in Westminster Hall.
Trump’s visit to the state – a person’s first visit to a second state will take place – between September 17-19. President will include a state feast hosted by the king in which he stayed in Windsor Castle.
