A Turkish activist group hung a banner on the Galata Bridge in Istanbul reading 'Hide your children, Trump is on his way!!!' ahead of US President Donald Trump's expected arrival for the NATO summit in Ankara, according to reports from the source yossi301.
The banner appeared to mock Trump's visit, which has been a focus of diplomatic attention. As The Zioneer reported, Trump's trip to Turkey marks his first visit as president and is expected to include a meeting with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and possible announcements on the F-35 fighter jet deal. The summit is scheduled to take place in Ankara.
The Galata Bridge, a historic landmark in Istanbul, has been used for protests in the past. The banner's wording recalls the phrase 'Hide your children', which has been used in American political discourse, often in reference to Trump's controversial statements. The incident underscores the polarizing nature of the visit among some Turkish groups.
