Trump Visits UK, Public Protest

Nearly a hundred people gathered to demonstrate outside Windsor Castle on the outskirts of London on the 16th, protesting U.S. President Trump's state visit to the United Kingdom.

Trump arrived at London's Stansted Airport that evening and spent the night at Windsor Castle.

Buckingham Palace said Trump is scheduled to meet with King Charles III and Prime Minister Starmer on the 17th and 18th, respectively.

The protest was organized by a group named “Stop Trump Alliance.” Demonstrators held signs with slogans such as “Hate Cannot Make Any Country Great,” and chanted slogans like “Leave the UK” and “Britain Does Not Welcome You” as they marched along the main street outside Windsor Castle.

The group plans to hold a larger protest march at London’s Parliament Square on the afternoon of the 17th.

This is Trump's second state visit to the UK as U.S. President. His first was in 2019 during his previous term. In July of this year, Trump’s private visit to Scotland also triggered protests from local residents.

Before U.S. President Trump’s state visit to the UK, protesters today projected an image of Trump and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein onto the castle in England where Trump was staying, resulting in four arrests by police.

Additionally, Led by Donkeys, a group known for viral actions against political figures, projected a collage video onto a tower of Windsor Castle, west of London, which lasted several minutes.

Before Trump’s arrival in the UK, images including Trump's mugshot, Epstein’s photograph, newspaper headlines, and footage of the two dancing together were projected onto the castle.

Police stated that four people had been arrested in Windsor on suspicion of “malicious communications.”

Trump has long struggled to distance himself from his former associate Epstein. Billionaire sex offender Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial.
