Demonstrations were reported in countries including Italy, France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Greece and Australia. Protesters carried banners and placards expressing anti-war messages and criticism of the US president. Messages varied by location, with slogans calling for peace, challenging political leadership and questioning US policy, particularly in relation to the conflict involving Iran.
In the United States, more than 3,000 protests were scheduled nationwide, marking the latest mobilisation since Trump’s return to office. Previous demonstrations have drawn millions, reflecting sustained public concern over issues such as immigration enforcement and the rising cost of living. In Washington, DC, protesters marched with symbolic displays, including an inflatable effigy of the president.

Organisers described the protests as peaceful and emphasised their focus on democratic values and opposition to government actions both domestically and internationally. However, the White House dismissed the demonstrations, with a spokesperson suggesting they attracted limited interest beyond media coverage. The events highlight ongoing political divisions and the global reach of criticism directed at the US administration.
