Environmental activists sprayed orange paint on a section of the US embassy building in London to protest against Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, Reuters reports.

Two campaigners from Just Stop Oil sprayed the embassy’s compound wall with orange paint, a video posted by the group on X showed.

“Trump’s win puts the lives of ordinary people at risk, everywhere,” Just Stop Oil said.

London’s Metropolitan Police and the US embassy did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
