Thousands of demonstrators protested the G7 summit in Geneva on Sunday, expressing discontent with U.S. President Donald Trump and other leaders.

The protest, organized by the NoG7 coalition, drew diverse groups including environmentalists and Palestinian rights supporters. Security measures are extensive, with thousands of police deployed and border crossings restricted.

- Protesters marched from a lakeside park across Geneva, with a boat displaying a "No G7" sail. - A group of youths held an anti-Trump banner, and signs reading "Antisemitic never; anti-Zionist always" were seen.

- Swiss and French authorities have deployed over 13,000 police, with road closures and limited border crossings. - Activists cited frustration with Trump's policies on tariffs, the war in Iran, and climate, as well as his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

The summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, will discuss the Middle East, Ukraine, and global economic imbalances, with heightened security due to past unrest.
