“Trump Not Welcome”: Trump Faces Protests in Davos

HeadlineJan 26, 2018

President Trump is facing protests in Davos, Switzerland, where he’s slated to address the World Economic Forum this morning. Swiss activists greeted Trump’s arrival with a 200-foot-long banner hung on the side of a mountain reading “Trump Not Welcome.” This is activist Andreas Freimueller.

Andreas Freimueller: “Well, we just had eight helicopters passing by with Donald Trump sitting in one of them. And we wanted to send a very clear message to him: We don’t agree what you’re doing; what you do is not good for the world, it’s not good for the people.”
