Sharing our values and aggressively representing New Yorkers at home and abroad helps keep our city’s needs and strengths at the forefront of an important discussion.” De Blasio will deliver a speech Saturday at a demonstration against Trump’s policies and the rise of populism in Europe hosted by a group called Hamburg Zeigt Haltung, Bloomberg reports. A [tweet](https://twitter.com/HHzeigtHaltung/status/883074403197743104) by the group called him the “keynote speaker.” De Blasio will visit Berlin and Hamburg, meeting with local officials at Hamburg’s town hall on Friday. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4848742/g20-summit-deblasio-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4848742/g20-summit-deblasio-trump/"},"headline":"NYC’s Mayor Is Heading to a Trump Protest in Germany","datePublished":"2017-07-07T11:52:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T16:28:11.628Z","description":"Where the president is for the G20 Summit","url":"https://time.com/4848742/g20-summit-deblasio-trump/","keywords":["New York","Germany","onetime","president trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt434602ab719e4516/6988aec5ab6d77a0be6abfb6/bill-de-blasio-trump-meeting.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt434602ab719e4516/6988aec5ab6d77a0be6abfb6/bill-de-blasio-trump-meeting.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"President-Elect Donald Trump Holds Meetings At His Trump Tower Residence In New York","caption":"President-Elect Donald Trump Holds Meetings At His Trump Tower Residence In New York","creditText":"Drew Angerer—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4848742/g20-summit-deblasio-trump/","name":"NYC’s Mayor Is Heading to a Trump Protest in Germany"}}]}] ```
