President Donald Trump is set to make his first visit to the UK since winning the election this week.

With plans to meet both The Queen and Theresa May, it is unlikely he will get time for much sight-seeing in London, where massive protests are expected.

On Friday, Trump will hold talks with Theresa May at the Prime Minister’s country retreat, Chequers, in Buckinghamshire, and meet the Queen at Windsor Castle, before returning home on the 16 July.

What to expect

With nearly 50,000 people expected to join the marches, protesters can also look forward to a giant inflatable Trump baby which was crowdfunded to fly above London on the big day.

This month’s protest comes at a particularly sensitive time. In the past six weeks, there has been added reason for protesters as news broke of 2,000 children separated from their parents at the US-Mexico border. The Trump administration gave some of the parents the option to leave the country with their kids or leave it without them; a revelation which sparked huge public fury and outcry.

American celebrities lent their support to criticising the immigration policy including Ava DuVernay, Jessica Chastain, Julianne Moore, Natalie Portman and more.

As for expectations for the UK protest it was reported that 400 officers from West Midland police will be sent to London in anticipation of the huge numbers gathering for the demonstration.

Organisers have urged people to bring “megaphones, whistles, pots and pans and anything else you can make noise with”, while the Together Against Trump umbrella protest group said the “harrowing” sounds of children crying at the US-Mexico border would be played to demonstrate against strict immigration laws.
