In addition to over 1,000 "Hands Off" protest events being planned on Saturday in the US to oppose US President Donald Trump as well as efforts from Elon Musk with the Trump administration, there have been several protests popping up internationally.

Clips of protests in Brussels, Belgium as well as photos in London in the UK were posted to X. There were several other protests reported in different European cities. 


In London, chants of "Hands Off!" were heard as hundreds marched in opposition to the Trump administration.



Indivisible, the left-wing group that has been backing and promoting the demonstrations across the US and in Europe, had its cofounder, Ezra Levin, appear on MSNBC, where he said that the group was pushing to organize demonstrations all around the US. 

Protests took place in Berlin, Germany, where they were protesting just outside a showroom for Tesla vehicles. Last month, there were four Teslas that were deliberately set on fire in the city of Berlin.

Newsweek reported that there were "about a dozen" cities around Europe that also saw the demonstrations. The protests are taking place just days after Trump announced that he would be implementing reciprocal tariffs on nations around the world that have put up trade barriers for US imports.

In Frankfurt, Germany, "Democrats Abroad," which is the official Democrat Party arm outside of the US, organized their own demonstration. The Democrats in Germany held up signs that said slogans such as "Hands off our personal data" as well as "The world is tired of your bullsh*t Donald, be gone," Reuters reported.

There are more protests planned for next Saturday, according to the "Hands Off" website.
