Trump travels to Brussels to begin European tour
Those that aren’t packing into Brussels pubs, bars and clubs to watch the game will undoubtedly take to the streets to protest today as Donald Trump arrives in the Belgian capital to begin his week-long tour of Europe.
The President of the United States will fly in today ahead of the NATO Summit which is taking place on Wednesday and Thursday. He will then fly to the UK on Thursday afternoon to meet with key officials like Theresa May and Queen Elizabeth.
Trump can expect protesters everywhere that he goes in Europe. In London, a giant orange blimp complete with the president’s face, aptly named Baby Trump, will fly over the city during his stay.
Trump is expected to avoid London, where the biggest protests are likely to be held. He will not visit Downing Street, Buckingham Palace or Parliament during his first UK visit.
