Global May Day protests target Trump's policies | JQJO

Global May Day protests saw hundreds of thousands demonstrating against President Trump's policies. Anger over tariffs, immigration crackdowns, and attacks on labor protections fueled rallies across continents, from Europe and Asia to the United States. Demonstrators in France condemned the "Trumpization" of world politics, while others in Japan and Taiwan directly targeted Trump's economic policies. Protests in Turkey also highlighted concerns over democratic values and the arrest of Istanbul's mayor. In the US, protests focused on the administration's weakening of unions and favoring corporations over communities.
