Thousands of protesters marched through central London on Wednesday to oppose U.S. President Donald Trump’s unprecedented second state visit to the UK.
Police estimated about 5,000 people joined the demonstration, which ended in a rally outside Parliament. While Trump received red-carpet treatment at Windsor Castle, demonstrators displayed placards, flags, and recreated the famous “Trump baby” balloon.
Speakers, including Green Party leader Zack Polanski and comedian Nish Kumar, condemned Trump’s politics as divisive and hateful, with protesters chanting “Donald Trump not welcome here.”
The rally, organised by the Stop Trump Coalition and supported by groups like Amnesty International UK, Black Lives Matter UK, Greenpeace, and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, drew attention to issues ranging from fascism fears to Palestinian rights.
