Trump Calls Reports of Protests in London Against His Visit to UK ‘Fake News’

US President Donald Trump said during a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday that reports of large protests in London against his state visit to the United Kingdom are “fake news”.

“Where are the protests? I don’t see any protests”, Trump said. “I did see a small protest today when I came, very small, so a lot of it is fake news, I hate to say”.

On Monday, Stand up to Trump campaign organiser Shabbir Lakha told Sputnik that the UK government’s decision to extend a state visit invitation to Trump while ignoring massive protests last summer against the US president’s trip showed an absolute disregard toward the British people.
