Assessments & Forecast

  1. Based on precedent, these protests are likely to attract turnouts ranging from low dozens to mid-hundreds, with demonstrations in Berlin, Paris, and London likely attracting the highest turnouts.
  2. In addition to the aforementioned protests, other protests associated with or inspired by the “No Kings Day” movement will likely be held in urban centers in Europe on June 14.
  3. Indeed, Trump’s May 23 announcement of a 50 percent tariff on all EU goods further increases the potential for protests, given heightened anti-US sentiments. Moreover, amid concerns over US support for NATO, protests are also likely to be organized in some eastern European countries, particularly the Baltic and Poland, where Russia is viewed as a primary security threat. Such protests are likely to take place near central government buildings, main squares, businesses linked to Trump, and US diplomatic missions.
  4. Considering heightened sentiments, cities like Athens, Barcelona, Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Paris, and Rome, which have substantial presence of climate, far-left, or pro-Palestinian groups, are expected to see larger turnouts and carry a latent risk for unrest. Such unrest is likely to manifest as localized clashes between police and demonstrators. Moreover, based on precedent, instances of vandalism targeting businesses associated with Trump are likely in these cities.
  5. As such, a bolstered security presence is likely to be deployed near the protest locations during the slated protest timings. In the event of escalating unrest, authorities are liable to respond with forcible crowd dispersal measures, including conducting arrests.
  6. Significant disruptions to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic can be anticipated in the vicinity of the protest locations during the slated timings.

Recommendations

  1. Those operating or residing in Europe on June 14 are advised to maintain heightened vigilance near protests denouncing US President Donald Trump due to the latent potential for unrest.
  2. Allot for travel-related disruptions in the vicinity of the protest locations during their slated timings.
