Hundreds of protesters including Americans living abroad took to the streets across major European cities in a show of defiance against Donald Trump's administration, said a report published by The Guardian yesterdaty.

'Hands Off' protests take off across US and Europe to oppose Trump agenda

Protesters rallied in Frankfurt, Berlin, Paris, London and Lisbon, all in a united show of opposition against Trump's policies.

Jamie Raskin, the Democratic repre-sentative of Maryland, addressed the crowd in Washington DC, saying: "We've got the right to protest for what is right without being arrested, deported or fired. We've got the right to read the books we want... We've even got the right to call the president deranged from crashing our economy, destroying $6tn of wealth ... and the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico." Maxwell Frost, Florida's Democratic representative, also addressed the crowd in Washington DC, saying: "This insidious rise of authoritarianism is fueled by corrupt billionaires and mega corporations who believe that they have the right to control every aspect of our lives." Demonstrators from as far afield as New Hampshire and Pennsylvania gathered at Washington DC's national monument. In overcast conditions, protesters displayed a vast array of placards and, in some cases, Ukrainian flags, expressing opposition to administration policies.
