A protesting reporter holding up a sign was forcibly removed from a room of journalists preparing for a joint press conference between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The sign held up by the protestor decried the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, and he appeared to be waiting in the room for the press conference to begin in order to cause a commotion. Secret Service and Russian security personnel could be seen forcibly removing the man, wrestling the sign out of his hand.

The man was reportedly brought out of the room and then brought back in to gather his things, which triggered the incident.
