Canadian petition to expel US ambassador gathers 170,000 signatures

A petition calling for the United Kingdom to formally register its opposition to the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled for debate in the House of Commons. The motion, submitted through the parliamentary e‑petition system, reflects growing criticism among British lawmakers and the public over a range of initiatives pursued by the Trump administration.

The petition, which has amassed more than 150,000 signatures, urges the government to issue a statement condemning actions such as the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, its restrictive immigration measures, and the imposition of tariffs on European goods. Under parliamentary rules, petitions that exceed 100,000 signatures are considered for debate, giving MPs an opportunity to discuss the issue and potentially influence foreign‑policy positioning. The upcoming discussion will allow members to voice concerns, assess the impact of U.S. policies on bilateral relations, and determine whether further diplomatic steps are warranted.
