A man has been dragged out of the Trump-Putin news conference, moments before the leaders were due to speak.
Footage from the news conference showed the man holding up a piece of paper with the words "nuclear weapon ban treaty" written on it before what appeared to be a security guard grabbed and struggled with the man.
In the clip, the apparent security guard, who was wearing an ear-piece, tries to grab the paper off the grey-haired man before taking him away.
Three other men – also wearing ear-pieces – escort the man away as the world's media take pictures and film the incident unfolding before them.
According to the Associated Press news agency, a US Secret Service agent spoke to the unidentified man before Finnish security removed the man.
