The leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, said on Friday he had turned down an invitation to a state dinner which will be part of US President Donald Trump's visit to Britain in June. 'Theresa May should not be rolling out the red carpet for a state visit to honor a president who rips up vital international treaties, backs climate change denial and uses racist and misogynist rhetoric,' Corbyn said in a statement. He said maintaining the relationship with the United States did not require 'the pomp and ceremony of a state visit' and he said he would welcome a meeting with Trump 'to discuss all matters of interest.'
