It also warned that the millions of Americans who support Trump would be alienated by such a move.
The Trump Organization issued the caution after a parliamentary committee on Tuesday set a January 18 date for a House of Commons debate on the issue. A petition on the Commons website calling for Trump to be barred has drawn more than 570,700 signatures – well over the 100,000 threshold requiring a debate on a matter.
The petition, which accused Trump of “hate speech,” was triggered by his call last month for Muslims to be temporarily banned from entering the U.S., following the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Calif. by a couple inspired by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
(Ironically, the second-most popular petition out of more than 2,400 on the Commons website calls on the government to “stop all immigration and close the U.K. borders until ISIS is defeated.” That petition, which has more than 455,000 signatures, has yet to have a date set for a parliamentary debate.)
