After Trump victory:
Climate activists spray paint US embassy in London
Following Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election, climate activists have sprayed the US embassy in London with paint. One wall of the building is now partially orange, the British news agency PA reported.
The group Just Stop Oil published a video of the protest online. "The world is waking up this morning to find that it has slipped further towards fascism and climate breakdown," the activists announced on the X platform (formerly Twitter). Trump's election victory endangers human lives everywhere.

The group repeatedly draws attention to itself with protest actions. In the summer, for example, the British Stone Age monument Stonehenge was sprayed with paint.
