The video has started circulating again after the poor Oval Office meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy, increasing tensions between the US, Ukraine, and the rest of Europe.
A video on social media supposedly shows a recent pro-Donald Trump, anti-Ukraine protest in London, following the US president’s hostile behavior towards Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The video shows crowds chanting “We love Trump” while waving flags of the UK, England, Wales, and the US.
The video is actually from July 2018, during an official visit to the UK by Trump while serving his first term as president.
The video resurfaced following Trump and Zelenskyy’s disastrous meeting in the Oval Office, which led to the US temporarily suspending support for Ukraine.
The claims that the British public overwhelmingly supports Trump and wants to stop helping Ukraine are also false.
Opinion polls consistently show that the majority of Brits back support for Ukraine and have an unfavorable view of Trump.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s approval ratings have gone up in recent weeks thanks to his stance on the war in Ukraine.
There is no substance to the claim that the UK government is trying to go to war with Russia.
