Thousands of anti-Trump protesters descend on London as demonstrations take place around the world
Thousands of anti-Trump protesters have descended upon Trafalgar Square in London, as demonstrations take place across the world.
The demonstrations come after Trump unveiled sweeping global tariffs which sent financial markets reeling amid growing fears of a global trade war.
The US President has imposed 10 per cent tariffs on the UK, alongside a worldwide 25 per cent tariff on all foreign-made cars.
The various protests, branded as “Hands Off”, have been organised by Democrats Abroad, the official organisation of the Democratic Party for US citizens living overseas.

Other signs read “Proud American Ashamed” and “WTAF America?”
The crowd chanted “Hands off Canada”, “Hands off Greenland” and “Hands off Ukraine” while listening to speeches criticising Trump.
