Americans in the UK have been warned to 'keep a low profile' during Donald trump, visit to avoid being caught up in 'violent' protests – as the Ambassador's residence where the President will sleep has been turned into a fortress. The U.S. Embassy issued the advice on Tuesday ahead of the President's arrival on Thursday for talks with a Prime Minister Theresa May.
Embassy staff said 'numerous demonstrations' were planned for Thursday to Saturday with the majority around central London on Friday. Americans were advised to 'keep a low profile', 'be aware of your surroundings', and 'monitor local media' during Trump's visit.
Exercise caution if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings that may become violent,' it said.
Meanwhile, workmen have constructed barriers, special pedestrian gates and fences around the U.S. ambassador's residence in Regent's Park ahead of the presidential visit.
Tens of thousands are expected to take to the streets in protest of Trump's policies but there is no indication they will be anything but peaceful.
Other than street marches, they include the flying a massive balloon of Trump as an angry baby from Westminster Gardens near Big Ben. President Trump lands in London on Thursday night for a dinner in his honour at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.
After spending the night at U.S. Ambassador Woody Johnson's residence in London he tours a military facility with Ms May before talks at Chequers.
That afternoon he will meet the Queen at Windsor Castle before heading to Scotland for a private holiday. He is mostly skipping London to avoid protests.
On Sunday he moves on to Helsinki to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for long-awaited talks on neutral territory. <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
