Why is Donald Trump not invited to the Inauguration?
In a press conference on October 27th, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated that he had no plans to invite President Donald Trump to his first speech in Parliament as Prime Minister. This announcement came after a motion was passed by all political parties in Parliament. This is believed to be a direct response to President Trump’s recent actions against Iran.
What did President Trump do against Iran?
On October 25th, President Trump announced that he would end US sanctions waivers for countries importing oil from Iran. The waivers were put into place by former US president Barack Obama and allowed countries such as China and India to continue buying Iranian oil without facing sanctions from the US.
President Trump also called on other countries, including European allies like France and Germany, to stop buying Iranian oil or face secondary sanctions from the United States.
