#Protests broke out in 2600 places in 50 states in the United States ##Sanders appeared at the demonstration and protest site #[National demonstrations broke out in the United States, with 7 million people participating] According to information from Xinhua Agency and China News Agency, on the 18th local time, large-scale protests broke out across the United States, expressing dissatisfaction with the current U.S. government's legislation, immigration, medical insurance and other policies, with 7 million participants.
It is reported that this is the third national demonstration in the United States after Trump returned to the White House, and it may also be the largest one.
The U.S. federal government is now entering its third week of “stagnation” due to the budget stalemate, and people’s lives are affected and anger and discontent are further intensified in the shadow of closure of some public institutions and forced salary cuts for federal employees.
At the protest scene in Washington, a number of forced unpaid federal employees joined the march with the insignia “unpaid protesters.”
The organizers said that in June this year, protests were held across the United States, at about 2100 registered venues, while the protests took place in 50 states and more than 2600 locations.
According to the event organizers, seven million people took part in the demonstration on the same day.The media noted that, like most other major events, the number of participants in the event could be adjusted after expert verification.But if the number of seven million remained, it would be one of the largest demonstrations in the United States in 60 years.
The protest covered almost all major cities in the United States, and some American Democratic politicians also joined in. U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders took part in protests in Washington and Illinois Governor Pritzker in Chicago.
In addition, people gathered outside the U.S. embassies in Berlin, Rome, Paris and Sweden in solidarity with protesters in the United States. The organizers of the event wrote on their website: "President (Trump) thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don't have a king, and we won't back down in the face of chaos, corruption and cruelty."
In response to the protest, US House Speaker and Republican Johnson denounced the rally as “Hate America,” while U.S. President Donald Trump was leaving Washington on the 17th to spend a weekend at Sea Lake Mansion in Florida.
On the evening of the 18th, Trump released an ironic video generated by AI. In the video, Trump wears a crown and drives a warplane, “throwing mud” into the crowd protesting.
