Scottish Justice Secretary: Trump should be banned from entering UK

Donald Trump should be banned from entering the UK after he leaves office, Scotland's Justice Secretary has said.
Humza Yousaf said Home Secretary Priti Patel should "give serious consideration to denying him entry."

He said the US President had incited a violent mob, and his "default" is to stir up racial tension.

It came as Ms. Patel blamed Mr. Trump's incendiary comments for directly provoking violence from a mob loyal to the President when they stormed the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn the election and prevent Joe Biden taking to the White House.

She urged the Republicans to condemn their actions and said his statement in which he said "We love you" to the rioters and repeated his baseless claims of electoral fraud did "very little to de-escalate the situation."

Mr. Yousaf has tweeted: "Once he leaves office if Trump tries to come to the UK the Home Sect should give serious consideration to denying him entry, she has the power if an applicant's presence is not conducive to the public good
"Trump's default is to stir up racial tension & yday he incited a violent mob."
