Administration officials insist it is a coincidence that the parade falls on Trump's birthday.
"Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption," according to a statement posted on the official "No Kings" event website.

"They've defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services," reads a statement from the official "No Kings" event website. "The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings."
Here is how to check where "No Kings" demonstrations will take place.

Britain warns against all travel to Israel as fighting with Iran intensifies
Britain has issued a warning against all travel to Israel as tensions with Iran escalated and the two countries stepped up their attacks with a fresh wave of missile strikes from both sides. As Donald Trump called for the two countries to make a deal to end the fighting, the UK Foreign Office updated its travel advice to say it now advised against travel to any parts of Israel. The US president had earlier threatened to respond with 'the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces' after Iran threatened to attack American, UK and French bases if they defended Israel. And a defiant Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Iran would pay a "very heavy price" for the deaths of Israeli civilians, as he visited Bat Yam, a city just south of Tel Aviv hit by deadly strikes. 'Iran will pay a very heavy price for the premeditated murder of civilians, women and children,' Mr Netanyahu said. Meanwhile, Rachel Reeves was forced to state that Britain is not at war, despite the UK sending more RAF jets to the Middle East. But, with at least 10 dead in Israel and millions hiding from the onslaught in bomb shelters across the country, the chancellor said Britain could offer military support for its ally as it fends off Iran's attacks. Speaking to Sky News on Sunday, Ms Reeves said: 'We have, in the past, supported Israel when there have been missiles coming in. 'So far, we haven't been involved, and we're sending in assets to both protect ourselves and also potentially to support our allies.' She added: 'It's very early days, and things are moving quickly, but when we urge for de-escalation in the region, that is in part because of the lives at risk… but also because what happens in the Middle East affects us here at home.' With Israel saying it plans to escalate its campaign, Ms Reeves warned that the impact of the conflict would be felt by families in the UK as it pushed up oil prices and threatened to block key trade routes. The UK's travel ban puts Israel in the same category as Iran, with Foreign Secretary David Lammy telling Britons, 'your safety remains our top priority'. Updating its travel advice, the Foreign Office said: 'Iran has launched multiple rounds of missile and drone attacks against Israel. On 13 June, a nationwide state of emergency was declared in Israel. This followed Israeli strikes against nuclear and military facilities in Iran. Israeli airspace remains closed. 'We recognise this is a fast-moving situation that poses significant risks. The situation has the potential to deteriorate further, quickly and without warning. The current situation has disrupted air links out of the country and may disrupt road links.' Pressed on whether the UK would repatriate citizens stuck in Israel following the closure of Tel Aviv's airport and the mass diversion and cancellation of flights, the prime minister's official spokesman said there were no plans to do so, but it was being kept under review. The conflict was sparked as Iran launched missile and drone strikes on Israel overnight on Friday in response to a series of Israeli attacks on the heart of Tehran's nuclear programme and armed forces. That followed weeks of escalating tensions between the countries over Iran's nuclear programme. In the dramatic scenes which have since unfolded, smoke has been seen rising above Tehran and Tel Aviv, with air sirens sounding across central Israel and the Jerusalem area on Sunday. In a sign that a deal to end the conflict is some way off, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz on Sunday said that Israel 'will strike the sites and continue to peel the skin off the Iranian snake in Tehran and everywhere, stripping it of nuclear capabilities and weapons systems'. An official said Israel still had a long list of targets in Iran and would not say how long the attacks would go on for. Meanwhile, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said its responses will grow "more decisive and severe" if Israel's attacks continue. In a call for de-escalation, President Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: 'Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal… we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran!' That followed a post late on Saturday night in which Mr Trump warned: 'If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!' It comes as world leaders, including Mr Trump, Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron, are gathered in Canada for a crunch G7 summit, which now looks set to be dominated by the conflict in the Middle East.

Macron criticises Trump's threats to take over Greenland during visit
Emmanuel Macron has criticised Donald Trump's threats to take over Greenland as he became the first foreign head of state to visit the vast, mineral-rich Arctic territory since the US president began making explicit threats to annex it. 'I don't think that's what allies do,' Macron said as he arrived in the Danish autonomous territory for a highly symbolic visit aimed at conveying 'France's and the EU's solidarity' with Greenland on his way to a summit of G7 leaders in Canada. The French president said: 'It's important that Denmark and the Europeans commit themselves to this territory, where the strategic stakes are very high and whose territorial integrity must be respected.' Trump has repeatedly said the US needs Greenland, which is strategically located at the crossroads between the Atlantic and the Arctic, for US national security reasons, and has refused to rule out the use of force to secure it. Polls show the vast majority of Greenland's 57,000 people want independence from Denmark but not to become part of the US. The Danish government has said Greenland 'is not for sale' and only Greenlanders can determine their future. Macron's six-hour visit was 'a signal in itself' and came at the request of both Denmark and Greenland, his office said. It began with talks with the Danish and Greenlandic prime ministers, Mette Frederiksen and Jens-Frederik Nielsen, on a Danish naval frigate. The French president was also due to visit a glacier to see the effects of global heating, and to discuss how to include Greenland in EU action to aid development while 'respecting its sovereignty'. A planned visit to a hydroelectric plant was cancelled. Macron said before the visit that it was aimed at preventing further 'preying' on the territory. In March, the US vice president, JD Vance, visited the Pituffik US military base on the island, criticising Denmark for not having 'done a good job by the people of Greenland' and alleging Copenhagen had neglected the territory's security. Pituffik, on the shortest route for missiles fired from Russia at the US, is essential to Washington's missile defence system; while Greenland's strategic importance has risen amid a race for rare earths and as melting ice opens up new shipping routes. The US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, last week appeared to acknowledge that the Pentagon had developed plans to take over Greenland by force if necessary but refused to answer repeated questions about the subject at a congressional hearing. The Wall Street Journal reported last month that agency officials under the US national intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, were looking into Greenland's independence movement and sentiment about US resource extraction there. Frederiksen made several visits to Paris after Trump's threats against Greenland, which unlike Denmark is not an EU member but has an association agreement with the bloc. Copenhagen has placed orders for French-made surface-to-air missiles. Florian Vidal of the Paris-based Ifri thinktank said that for Denmark, long one of Washington's most loyal allies in Europe, enlisting the support of the EU's only nuclear power was a way to project hard power towards a suddenly more predatory US. Vidal said: 'The Trump administration's more aggressive posture makes the French vision of Europe, one that is more autonomous, appear more reasonable for Denmark. From a Nordic point of view, France is a military power that counts.' Nielsen said in April that US statements about Greenland to date had been 'disrespectful' and that the island would 'never, ever be a piece of property that can be bought by just anyone'. He said last week that France's support had been evident 'since the first statements about taking our land emerged' and was both 'necessary and gratifying'.

Macron visits Greenland to show European support for strategic Arctic island
Mr Macron reiterated his criticism of Mr Trump's intention to take control of the territory. 'I don't think that's something to be done between allies,' he said as he was greeted at the Nuuk airport by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen. French President Emmanuel Macron arrives at Nuuk Airport in Nuuk, Greenland (Mads Claus Rasmussen/Scanpix via AP) 'It's important to show that Denmark and Europe are committed to this territory, which has very high strategic stakes and whose territorial integrity must be respected,' Mr Macron said. He was making a stop on his way to a summit of the Group of Seven leading industrialised nations in Canada that will also be attended by Mr Trump. Mr Macron, who is visiting Greenland for the first time, said: 'It means a lot to me … to convey a message of friendship and solidarity from France and the European Union to help this territory face the different challenges: economic development, education, as well as the consequences of climate change.' In a speech last week at the UN Ocean Conference, Mr Macron also mentioned Greenland and the deep seas, saying they are not 'up for grabs' in remarks that appeared directed largely at Mr Trump. Mr Macron, in recent months, has sought to reinvigorate France's role as the diplomatic and economic heavyweight of the 27-nation European Union. The French president has positioned himself as a leader in Europe amid Mr Trump's threats to pull support from Ukraine as it fights against Russia's invasion. Mr Macron hosted a summit in Paris with other European heads of state to discuss Kyiv, as well as security issues on the continent. The French president has positioned himself as a leader in Europe amid Trump's threats to pull support from Ukraine as it fights against Russia's invasion (Stefan Rousseau/PA) Sunday's visit will also be the occasion to discuss how to enhance relations between the EU and Greenland further when it comes to economic development, low-carbon energy transition and critical minerals. The leaders will also have exchanges on efforts to curb global warming, according to Mr Macron's office. Later Sunday, Mr Macron, Mr Frederiksen and Mr Nielsen held a meeting on a Danish helicopter carrier, showing France's concerns over security issues in the region. Last week, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared to acknowledge that the Pentagon has developed plans to take over Greenland and Panama by force if necessary, but refused to answer repeated questions during a hotly combative congressional hearing on Thursday about his use of Signal chats to discuss military operations. Mr Hegseth's comments were the latest controversial remarks made by a member of the Trump administration about the Arctic island. The president himself has said he won't rule out military force to take over Greenland, which he considers vital to American security in the high north. The Wall Street Journal last month reported that several high-ranking officials under the US director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, had directed intelligence agency heads to learn more about Greenland's independence movement and sentiment about US resource extraction there. Mr Nielsen said that US statements about the island have been disrespectful and that Greenland 'will never, ever be a piece of property that can be bought by just anyone'.
