In an unusual move, the US embassy here has warned American citizens in the UK to "keep a low profile" during the high-profile visit of President Donald Trump from tomothis week during which many anti-Trump demonstrations would be held.
Protests are expected against Trump, whose policies - including a travel ban on a number of predominantly Muslim countries, the detention of child migrants on the US-Mexico border and the imposition of tariffs on EU steel and aluminium exports - have all been criticised by the UK.
There are fears that demonstrations during Trump's three-day visit to the UK from tomorrow could turn violent.
The largest demonstration is expected in central London on Friday where a giant "Trump baby" balloon will fly close to Parliament after being given the go-ahead by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.
A statement on the US embassy website warns US citizens to "be aware of your surroundings [and] exercise caution if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings that may become violent."
