US Embassy warns Americans in UK ahead of Trump visit

The US Embassy in London on Tuesday issued an alert warning Americans visiting or living in the UK to “keep a low profile” and take other measures to stay safe during President Trump’s visit to Great Britain.

“Numerous demonstrations are being planned for July 12 to 14, surrounding the visit of the President of the United States to the United Kingdom,” the alert on the embassy’s website reads.

“The majority of the demonstrations will be focused in central London on July 13, with other events planned for July 12 and 14. Several of the events are expected to attract large crowds and there will be road closures in connection with those events.”

The alert tells Americans to “be aware of your surroundings” and to “exercise caution if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings that may become violent.”

The warning continues: “Keep a low profile. Monitor local media for updates. View updates from UK police” on Twitter.
