Just Stop Oil activists have painted the US embassy building in London with orange paint in response to Donald Trump's election as the 47th president of the United States on November 6, 2024. The protest, which took place at 9:20 am this morning, was aimed at rejecting what the activists describe as 'fascism' and 'climate breakdown.' Just Stop Oil is demanding that governments work together to end the extraction and burning of oil, gas, and coal by 2030. The activists argue that Trump's victory poses a risk to ordinary people and exacerbates climate issues.
