The US president will arrive in the UK for his second state visit, an unprecedented gesture for an American leader, on Tuesday.
He will be in Windsor until Thursday, when he and the first lady, Melania Trump, will head to Chequers to meet Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his wife, Lady Starmer.
Although Mr Trump will not visit Parliament, where the House of Commons will be in recess for party conference session, campaigners said they will demonstrate against what they called “our government’s choice to honour a man who is violating human rights in the United States and around the world”.
Stop Trump Coalition demonstrators will gather in Portland Place in central London on Wednesday before marching towards Parliament Square.
A spokeswoman for the Stop Trump Coalition said: “After seeing the UK’s largest far-right demo this past weekend, it is even more essential to turn out to protest against Donald Trump’s state visit.
“Starmer’s response to this disgusting display was too little, too late, and now he’s welcoming Trump here to discuss nuclear and tech deals that will help the rich get richer but do nothing for everyday people.
“We do not want our government to trade away our democracy and decency.”
Between 110,000 and 150,000 people turned out for the Tommy Robinson-organised Unite The Kingdom protest on Saturday, significantly exceeding the estimates of organisers.
Police have said officers will be ready to respond to a potential high-threat incident in Windsor ahead of Donald Trump’s state visit.
The US President, along with First Lady Melania Trump, was originally due to arrive on Wednesday, September 17, as the guests of King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla.
However, they will now arrive in the UK to stay at Windsor Castle on the evening of Tuesday, September 16, and leave on Thursday, September 18, after their programme at Chequers finishes.
Armed officers will be patrolling the streets with Armed Response Vehicles (ARVs) ready to respond in case of increased threat, Thames Valley Police said last week during a media briefing at the force’s training centre in Sulhamstead, Berkshire.
“We have considered anything from a low to a high-threat incident, and it’s a very comprehensive security operation as a result,” police sergeant and operational firearms commander Daniel Hatfield said.
“Every single state visit or policing operation of this nature comes with its own merits, and every operation or plan is constructed individually.”
Sergeant Hatfield added: “It’s not the first time a president of the United States has visited Windsor and relationships with our American colleagues are well forged, well practised, so it makes planning a security operation like this a lot easier.”
Officers will have access to a wide range of equipment and weapons, including Tasers, baton guns which propel rubber bullets, Glock 17 sidearms, Lewis Machine & Tool rifles, and shotguns, which are used on dangerous animals.
Trump’s stay with the King and Queen will have no public-facing element on the first day of his state visit, when he will remain within the private Windsor estate, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
