As President Donald Trump took the oath of office for his second term, protests erupted across the globe, highlighting widespread opposition to his policies on immigration, climate change, and social justice. Protestors in various cities voiced their concerns, reflecting the international impact of Trump’s administration.
Protests in the US
In Los Angeles, protesters rallied against Trump’s stance on immigration and systemic racism, with many holding signs demanding equality and justice. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., the "People’s March" brought together thousands to oppose Trump’s policies, particularly on climate change and immigration.
Maria Calvillo, a participant in Washington, marched for women’s rights and racial equality. “This isn’t just about one day—it’s about the future of our country,” she said.
Trump’s proposed deportations also sparked outrage, with immigrant rights groups leading demonstrations in multiple cities, calling for fairer policies and protection for undocumented individuals.
Protests at the US-Mexico Border
In Tijuana, Mexico, residents gathered near the border fence to express their anger over Trump’s immigration measures. Many protesters emphasized the human toll of stricter deportation policies and the impact on families divided by the border.
Protests extended far beyond US borders, with international demonstrators condemning Trump’s policies.
In London, activists decried Trump’s climate policies, particularly his withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, which aimed to combat global warming. Amsterdam protesters echoed these concerns, focusing on Trump’s climate change denial and its global consequences.
In Brussels, a march targeted Trump’s "far-right" agenda, with demonstrators calling for labour rights, racial justice, and solidarity against growing inequality.
Anti-US Protests in the Philippines
In Manila, demonstrators opposed the expanded American military presence in the Philippines, viewing Trump’s policies as an extension of historical US interference in the region.
