Anti-Trump Protesters All Over the World Are Flooding the Streets

Outrage at tariffs, deportations, Elon Musk, and the president’s authoritarian policies were everywhere.

As protesters gathered in hundreds of cities and towns across America on Saturday, “Hands Off” rallies also kicked off in capitals around the world—including London, Paris, Brussels, and beyond—in a display of anger and solidarity.

These protests were scheduled long before President Donald Trump announced a series of devastating tariffs on international trading partners that cratered stock markets and triggered a global trade war that is likely to raise the prices of everything from coffee to cars. Many protesters pointed to the financial devastation his policies were inflicting on citizens, but the president’s other actions since he took office also inspired people to make posters and take to the streets.

Our reporters have been out in the field, but we’ve gathered a sampling of these actions from around the world.

Starting in New York City, Washington Bureau Chief David Corn reports a huge crowd.

Gigantic crowd in NYC for the #HandsOff march against Trump, Musk, and MAGA. So many people that the participants can barely move along. Signs decrying Trump and Co. on many fronts: immigration, science, Social Security, reproductive rights, tariffs, autocracy, kleptocracy & the price of eggs.

Protest just getting started here in Chicago.

But it’s not just people in major cities who are out protesting. My colleague, Julianne McShane, reports from her hometown in Marshfield, Massachusetts.

A bit cloudy, but still feels like a huge turnout here on the New Haven, Connecticut town green.
