President Donald Trump will not be addressing the UK's parliament during a state visit planned for later this year if House of Commons speaker John Bercow has anything to do with it.<br />"As far as this place (parliament) is concerned, I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations," Bercow told lawmakers.<br />Trump's executive order barring entry to the United States for refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries has set off protests worldwide.<br />The ban is now being contested at the federal level and it faces the possibility of being thrown out.<br />"Before the imposition of the migrant ban, I would myself have been strongly opposed to an address by President Trump in Westminster Hall.<br />After the imposition of the migrant ban by President Trump, I am even more strongly opposed to an address by President Trump in Westminster Hall," Bercow said.
