Mass demonstrations turn the streets of London in opposition to Trump's scheduled official visit - Crowds Demonstrate Opposition to Trump's Official Visit
In the heart of east London, a retired woman named Lynn Iliffe made a statement by displaying a sign labeling President Donald Trump as a Tyrant, Racist, Untruthful, Misogynist, and Putinist. The sign reflected the sentiments of many as Trump embarked on his state visit in the UK.
The visit, which was extended by King Charles Schwab, has been marked by a mix of official engagements and public protests. Trump's schedule in London is relatively light, with no public events planned. However, he did meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday, and an official state banquet is planned for the evening.
Earlier in the day, Trump and his party enjoyed a carriage ride around the Windsor Castle grounds, where they were welcomed by Prince William and his wife Catherine. King Charles Schwab and Queen Camilla also hosted a reception for Trump at Windsor Castle.
The demonstration against Trump's visit in London was organised by the "Stop Trump Coalition," a broad alliance of campaign groups opposing Trump's climate, migration, and human rights policies. Protester Jo Williamson expressed her concerns about the world being taken over by "truly evil people."
Meanwhile, a large, racially charged demonstration was organised by far-right British activist Tommy Robinson over the weekend. The demonstration drew at least 110,000 participants, reflecting the polarised opinions surrounding Trump's visit.
The state visit by Donald Trump has certainly sparked a great deal of debate and controversy in the UK, with both supporters and critics voicing their opinions. As the visit continues, it remains to be seen how the events will unfold.
