Source: Ed Davey urges US cancer scientists to come to UK – BBC News
The UK government should offer discount visas to US cancer scientists who have had their research cancelled by the Trump administration, Sir Ed Davey will say.
“The UK should step up and say: If Trump won’t back this research, we will,” the Liberal Democrat leader will say in a speech to his party’s conference in Bournemouth on Tuesday.
He will propose the setting up of a fellowship scheme for US scientists seeking to escape the US government’s “anti-science agenda”.
The Lib Dem leader has stepped up his attacks on the US president this week and accused Reform UK leader Nigel Farage of wanting to turn the UK into “Trump’s America”.
