Petition Action

Advise the Commonwealth not to grant membership to the USA

Petition Details

Reports indicate the US is interested in joining the Commonwealth. We think the British Government should advise against this as we think the current US administration’s actions & statements are not compatible with the principles in the Commonwealth Charter.

Additional Information

We think principles 4,6,7,9 and 10 of the Commonwealth Charter are incompatible with current US policy, and consider that this is evidenced by statements and actions taken since January 20th.

We think US policy around diversity does not express tolerance or understanding. We think tariffs work against the flow of trade on equitable terms. We think withdrawal from international agreements on climate change is not a commitment to collective action.
