A group of demonstrators were arrested after displaying a banner featuring a picture of the planet with the words “defend” and “resist” at Trump Tower.
Chicago police stated that there were imminent charges against the Greenpeace protestors after the incident last week as the US leader attended the G20 Summit where the President was left isolated over his country's stance on climate change.
It is thought five men and two women will be charged, although police are still examining possible damage to property and trespassing, according to US broadcaster WGN news.
