Scotland’s parliament voted Thursday to call on the U.K. to suspend exports of tear gas, riot gear and rubber bullets to the U.S. in light of the recent Black Lives Matter protests that have spread across the nation following the death of George Floyd. “Clearly, the U.S. is not a safe country to which we should be exporting tear gas, rubber bullets and riot gear,” Harvie said Thursday. Harvie also suggested that Scotland build a slavery museum "to address our historic links with the slave trade". Countries throughout Europe, including the U.K., have seen large demonstrations, and several statues of slave traders and symbols of imperial rule have been removed in light of the Black Lives Matter movement. Ammunition makes up £18 million, or nearly $23 million, of the goods, which include rubber bullets and tear gas, according to reporting done by the Independent.
