Mr Fox, who welcomed Donald and Melania Trump from Air Force One in Stansted on Thursday, said protesters did not reflect the good manners and hospitality of the British people.
Dr Fox told BBC News: “The US President has his own way of expressing himself and I don’t think that the protesters were an embarrassment to the government.
“I think they were an embarrassment to themselves and I think when you have the President of the United States, the leader of the free world being greeted with signs that say ‘go home, we hate you’.
“I don’t think that reflects the genuine good manners and hospitality of the British people.”
Protesters gathered in London on Friday where organisers estimate 250,000 people turned out to protest against the visit of US President Donald Trump.
On Saturday campaigners are also expected to gather outside the Trump International Golf Links in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire as the much talked-up baby balloon follows him to Scotland.
The giant balloon depicts President Trump as an angry, smartphone-wielding baby.
It was flown in central London protests on Friday as the US President embarked on a working visit in the UK.
