A big global movement has started in protest against the policies of US President Donald Trump. This campaign has been named ‘No Kings’, which means, we do not believe in any king. This movement has spread from America to Europe and Asia.

Hundreds of people gathered outside the US Embassy in London on Saturday (18 October 2025) against the policies of the Trump administration. The protesters said that they are standing in protest against the President’s increasing dictatorial behavior and the threat to democratic institutions.

Protest started from London, impact spread to the world

This rally in London is being considered as the first phase of the No Kings campaign. With this, more than 2,600 demonstrations have been organized across the world. Even in Spanish cities like Madrid and Barcelona, ​​people took to the streets and protested. In America, thousands of people in New York, Washington and Chicago expressed their displeasure over the policies of the Trump administration.

People said – ‘Democracy is not anyone’s personal empire’

Leah Greenberg, co-founder of Indivisible, an organization associated with the campaign, said that this demonstration is to protect democracy. He said that the idea that we do not have kings is the soul of the American Constitution. This movement gives the message that citizens will have to raise their voice again.

Increased commotion and security in America

Protestors marched peacefully in many parts of America. Hundreds of people in Virginia headed towards Washington DC and gathered near Arlington Cemetery. Organizers said that this campaign has received the support of more than 300 social organizations. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has also trained thousands of volunteers to ensure that the protests remain peaceful.

Leaders and celebrities gave support

America’s progressive leaders Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Hillary Clinton also supported the campaign. Many celebrities gave a message of unity on social media with the No Kings hashtag. A few months ago, similar protests took place on Trump’s birthday, in which lakhs of people participated.

Trump said – ‘I am not a king’

Trump responded to the protests by saying it was wrong to call him a king. He also said that these demonstrations are politically motivated and harm the image of the country. Republican Party leaders also criticized these protests, calling them anti-America campaigns.

People’s voice got a platform again

American sociologist Dana Fisher believes that the No Kings campaign could prove to be the largest mass movement in recent years. He says that this is not just a protest against Trump’s policies, but it is the voice of those who are feeling suppressed. According to Fischer, more than three million people can join this movement, which shows that the public will no longer remain silent.

Former indian ambassador seshadri on china us trade policies: In recent times, US President Donald Trump’s tariff policy has created a stir all over the world. Amidst Bhurajnial tension, Trump’s high tariff has caused heavy damage to the economy of many countries. In such a situation, former India Ambassador VS. Seshadri has strongly criticized the policies of both Washington and Beijing.

Seshadri, former Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer, who has served as India’s envoy in Slovenia and Myanmar, said that the US tariff policy has shook the global trade system with uncertainty and unilateral actions in the US tariff policy and the race of technology dominance around the world.

Turbulence from China-American policy

Seshadri said during a lecture at the India International University of Legal Education and Research on the subject of “International Trade Act: Challenges and Views” that these developments have weakened the necessary forecasts and stability for global trade. He explained in detail about the US, European Union (EU) and China’s strategies and their influences on India.

Significantly, the US, EU and China have about 42 percent stake in global trade. Referring to the policies of America, he said that in the second term of President Trump, the US has expanded unilateral measures and has also imposed tariffs on the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) partners under the guise of “counter -duty”.

Trump’s unilateral actions

According to the International Trade Expert Seshadri, these steps are now being used not only to promote trade balance and domestic manufacturing, but also for wide goals such as economic security, immigration control, punishment of Russian oil buyers and dealing with drug trafficking.

He said that bilateral agreements imposed by the US often binds partner countries to import energy, agriculture and defense from the US, while in return only partial tariff cuts are offered. These arrangements can be contrary to the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Indirect comment on Pakistan

Without naming Pakistan, Seshadri said, “A neighbor country has chosen a suicide path by handing over its resources to America under the guise of bilateral trade agreement.” He also mentioned the legal challenge in the US against the powers of the President of imposing tariffs under emergency measures and described it as the “most important business case”, on which the US Supreme Court will now give a verdict.
