Protesters voiced concerns over the administration\u2019s domestic and foreign policies, particularly the conflict involving Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organisers said more than 3,000 rallies were planned nationwide, spanning major urban centres as well as suburban and rural areas. The first \u201cNo Kings\u201d protest in June last year reportedly drew millions of participants, while a second event in October attracted an estimated seven million demonstrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest demonstrations come amid declining approval ratings for the US president and ahead of midterm elections scheduled for November. Protesters criticised the administration\u2019s use of executive authority, immigration policies and increased military involvement abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cultural support for protests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Musician Bruce Springsteen is scheduled to perform the protest song <em>Streets of Minneapolis<\/em> in St. Paul, Minnesota, a focal point in the national debate over immigration enforcement. The song was written in memory of two US citizens killed during earlier demonstrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organisers say participation has broadened significantly, with a majority of expected protesters coming from outside major metropolitan areas, signalling expanding nationwide opposition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON: Large-scale protests against US President Donald Trump erupted across the United States and several European cities on Saturday, as millions rallied against what they described as authoritarian policies and&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2654,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1975,100,1974,1872,1973],"class_list":["post-2652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-bruce-springsteen","tag-donald-trump","tag-no-kings-movement","tag-us-iran-war","tag-us-protests"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
