Trump's visit Congress notes that Donald Trump is set to return to the UK at some point in 2019.
His previous visit in July 2018 was met with mass demonstrations.
Since then Trump has partially shut down the US government to force through funding of his racist 'border wall'.
Trump is a racist and misogynist who has given confidence to the racist and fascist right from those who marched in Charlottesville (where anti-racist Heather Heyer was murdered) to Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) in the UK, some of whose supporters are trying to organise on our campuses as well as trying to rehabilitate racist ideological justifications such as 'scientific racism'.
Congress opposes any state visit here, calls on Theresa May to withdraw any such invitation to Trump, and supports any broad-based protests called against his visit.
