Petition Action

Ban any world leader currently placing punitive tariffs against us from the UK

Petition Details

If any world leader places punitive tariffs against the UK, or if they have been convicted of crimes in their country of origin, that should bar them from entering the UK and from all state visits.

Additional Information

Appeasement does not work. We should know that.

The UK government should stand up to ALL foreign autocrats, including refusing entry to this country.

This petition proposes two simple criteria:

1. If they have imposed tariffs (or similar) that impede our trade into their country, on reciprocal grounds or otherwise

2. If they have ever been convicted of a crime, regardless of sentence, in their country of origin.

Then they should be barred from entry to our country indefinitely.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Dear Keith,

I hope you are well and thank you for your petition: Ban any world leader currently placing punitive tariffs against us from the UK.

Petitions need to call for a clear action. We’re not sure exactly what you mean by “punitive tariffs” and tariffs which “impede trade”. We are unclear if you would like your request to apply to leaders of countries that impose any tariffs on UK goods, or just particular types of tariffs.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Kind regards,

Rahul
