Trump expects UK in turmoil, embassy asks US citizens to keep low profile

The US President Donald Trump, talking to the reporters on Tuesday morning, said that he expects to see the country (UK) in “turmoil” when he lands there for a two-day visit.

Trump spoke to reporters on the south lawn of the White House on Tuesday morning, before boarding Marine One to begin his trip to Europe.

“It’s going to be an interesting time in the UK and certainly an interesting time with NATO,” Trump said, from the helicopter. “NATO has not treated us fairly but I think we’ll work something out. We pay far too much and they pay far too little. But we will work it out and all countries will be happy.”

“So I have NATO, I have the UK which is in somewhat turmoil, and I have Putin. Frankly, Putin may be the easiest of them all. Who would think! Who would think. But the UK certainly has a lot of things going on.”, said Trump.

US embassy in London has warned US citizens in London to keep low profile during Trump visit.

“Be aware of your surroundings, exercise caution if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings that may become violent,” the US embassy has warned.

According to The Guardian, “The warning comes after it emerged that the UK police mobilisation for Trump’s visit would be the largest since the 2011 English riots.”

“Officers will be moved around the country to protect the US president, with those in regions Trump is not visiting giving assistance to the services in those he is. Its scale is such that some police chiefs have expressed concerns they will not have enough resources for their usual local policing duties.”, reported The Guardian.
