In a move that nearly half of the British public opposes, King Charles is moving ahead with plans to visit Trump in the U.S. at the end of April.
The visit has the potential to be disastrous.
It presents
opportunities for Trump to insult Britain, which he has done in abundance after they refused to join his illegal, disastrous war on Iran. The visit also displays a kind of
alignment with Trump, who has been brutal, destructive, and downright undemocratic since he took office. He has terrorized communities with ICE, torn down essential environmental protections, and created economic turmoil (including imposing tariffs on UK imports!), just to name a few.
Why would the British government want to show support for a president like that?But there is still some good that could come out of this visit, if King Charles and the British government are willing to do the right thing.
King Charles should meet with the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, who have so far been utterly failed by institutions and leaders meant to protect them.By meeting with and hearing from victims, the King would empower them and legitimize their stories, which have so far fallen on too many deaf ears in the United States government.
Sign the petition and ask King Charles to not meet with Trump, but rather meet with victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his circle of coconspirators!Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender and alleged head of a massive, horrific, international sex trafficking ring of children and young women that operated unchecked for years. And we now know, thanks to the release of the Epstein files in early 2026, that many, many U.S. politicians and powerful elites were directly involved.
This includes Donald Trump himself, whose name appears in the files more than 38,000 times. It is then no surprise that the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his horrific operation have still not received justice, even though they have bravely come forward and relived their trauma over and over again in the public eye. Many of the people who could get them justice are the very same people that allowed or participated in their exploitation.
Notably present in the Epstein files is none other than Andrew Mount-Batten, the King's brother and former prince who was stripped of his title because of his association with Epstein. King Charles has displayed resounding support for British authorities who are investigating his brother, but he must take it one step further by meeting face-to-face with victims. They are the ones who deserve his attention and validation. They are the ones who deserve to be heard.
Epstein's crimes spanned across many countries, and the United Kingdom is no exception. Ghislain Maxwell, Epstein's main partner in his awful crimes, is a British citizen. Epstein was famous for holding relationships with powerful British public figures. It is the least that King Charles can do, as Britain's most powerful and influential representative, to honor victims with his time instead of Trump.
Congressman Ro Khanna has already
openly asked the King to meet privately with Epstein's victims. Today, we're echoing that call, and we ask that you do the same.
