Massive US protests target Trump's 'king-like' rule and Iran war

Millions of Americans are expected to protest nationwide Saturday as part of the 'No Kings' movement, opposing President Donald Trump's authoritarian governance and his newly launched war in Iran alongside Israel. This third major protest day in under a year follows June's rally on Trump's birthday and October's event, which organizers said drew seven million people. Over 3,000 rallies are planned across all 50 states, including rural areas and Alaska, signaling opposition extending beyond urban Democratic strongholds. Protesters cite Trump's use of executive decrees, weaponization of the Justice Department, fossil fuel policies, attacks on diversity programs, and the Iran war as evidence of tyrannical rule. Bruce Springsteen will perform in St. Paul, Minnesota, a focal point after Trump's immigration crackdown there. With Trump's approval at ~40% and November midterms approaching—where Republicans risk losing Congress—the movement aims to pressure the administration. For Nigeria and West Africa, Trump's foreign policy shifts, including military escalation in the Middle East, threaten global oil market volatility and could redirect US strategic focus away from African partnerships, potentially impacting security cooperation and economic engagements. The deepening US political divide may also affect diaspora remittances and international investment climates. Will Nigeria's government and businesses recalibrate strategies for a more unpredictable US foreign policy, or double down on existing relationships?
