LONDON
Hundreds of protesters gathered in central London on Saturday to voice opposition to the policies of US President Donald Trump and his tech-billionaire ally Elon Musk, as part of a wave of coordinated demonstrations taking place around the world.
The rally, held at Trafalgar Square, featured a crowd chanting anti-Trump slogans and holding up signs criticizing the US administration’s foreign policy, environmental stance, and controversial rhetoric.
Placards bearing messages such as "Hands off our democracy" and "Elect a clown, expect a circus" reflected frustration with US policy decisions involving Canada, Greenland, Mexico, and the environment. One protester held a gravestone-shaped sign reading "RIP America," with the date Jan. 20—the day Trump took office—inscribed on it.
Another sign listed Greenland, Canada, Ukraine, Panama, and Gaza, with the message: "All babies need to be taught, No."
In a separate demonstration on Oxford Street, protesters gathered outside a Tesla pop-up store, urging consumers to boycott Tesla vehicles in protest of Musk's political and business influence.
The protests in London were part of a broader series of global rallies denouncing both Trump’s leadership.
