Turkish activists hung a banner that reads, “Hide your children, Trump is coming” on the Haliç Bridge in Istanbul ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected July 7 meeting for a NATO summit in Ankara.

The Turkish protesters oppose Trump’s Middle East policies and the perceived negative impact of his leadership on global affairs and children’s welfare, hence the “Hide your children” slogan.

Turkey is tightening security in preparation for the NATO summit, banning demonstrations and placing controversial restrictions on speech. In addition, Turkey converted a former military airport into a VIP airport specifically to host dignitaries arriving for the summit.

Turkey has frustrated NATO allies in recent years with its turn to extremist, anti-democratic policies, its purchases of Russian missile defense systems that led to its expulsion from the F-35 program, and its refusal to participate in sanctions against Russia.

However, since the Iran war, Turkey has tilted toward the West after NATO stepped in with defense systems when Iran fired missiles into Turkish territory.
