British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he strongly disagrees with the Supreme Court ruling that Parliament's suspension was illegal.
He says the government will respect the decision but indicated he could try to suspend it again.
Johnson said in New York Tuesday that "I strongly disagree with what the justices have found. I don't think that it's right but we will go ahead and of course parliament will come back."
He added: "I do think there's a good case for getting on with a queen's speech anyway and we will do that."
The queen's speech outlines the government's plan for the coming session of Parliament.
