M More than a hundred people protested loudly on Thursday night in London against US President Donald Trump's visit to the UK. "Donald Trump is not welcome," chanted attendees who had gathered near the residence of the US ambbadador at Regent's Park. The protesters made noise with whistles, megaphones, pots and shouted their critics of Trump's policy.

"How many children have you locked in a cage today?" They shouted illegally, referring to the treatment of immigrant migrant children on the border with Mexico. The protesters paused to listen to a sound recording of the children crying. On the signs were slogans like "racist", "Block him" and "Get off". When a helicopter took off to bring Trump to dinner with Prime Minister Theresa May and business representatives at Blenheim near Oxford, the crowd booed.

The US president arrived in London from his Brussels summit with his wife Melania on Thursday. At the ambbadador's residence in London, The Trumps will spend the night of Friday. Then, they will leave the British capital again: Friday May, Trump will be received at his home in Checkers, then a visit to Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle is planned. From Friday night through Sunday, the Trumps will be in Scotland – presumably in their luxurious Turnberry Golf Club.

Trump's visit is accompanied by several events. The largest of them is expected to take place Friday at Trafalgar Square in London, where tens of thousands of attendees are expected. London Mayor Sadiq Khan also announced his participation. He stressed that the demonstration was anything but anti-American. "Most people who protest will like the United States, like me," he said. But having a special relationship also means "important values ​​are in danger".
