The journalist from US political publication The Nation disrupted the meeting holding a banner that read 'Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty'

A journalist has been dragged out of the Trump-Putin press conference by Secret Service agents after protesting over America's use of nuclear weapons.

Political journalist and activist Sam Husseini got into a scuffle with security forces in Helskini, Finland, as Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump addressed journalists.

Husseini, who writes for The Nation, held up a sign saying 'Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty' as he disrupted the conference just before the two leaders were set to take questions from the press.

Security officials had reportedly asked Husseini to leave the room earlier, and at that point he left peacefully.

However, he then suddenly returned carrying a hand-written sign - which Russian authorities reportedly called a "malicious item."

It is one of those questions I encounter when I talk to diplomats from foreign countries. A lot of people threaten and bluster, but everybody knows only one country did it.

Just like a lot of countries threaten and bluster at other countries, but only one country actually does the kind of things we do.

Trump should have asked Acosta if he feels like pulling his crap now.

Husseini. I wonder if he’s any relation to Obama.

[P-Marlowe]

He needs to be immediately placed on the no fly list. He can find alternate transportation back to the US. Maybe he can hitch a ride on an oil tanker.

After Acosta sees the amount of press this idiot got, he’s going to his damnedest to 1-up him.

I was hoping it was that demented David Korn from The Nation.

If that guy’s crazy eyes were one millimeter closer, he would be a Cyclops.

And he still has a job?

When you write for ‘The Nation’ you’re no longer a “journalist.”.................

"Sam Husseini"

I see what the problem is.

Lucky moron. If he’d been hauled out by the FSB, Putin’s people, he’d be radioactive fish food by now. Meanwhile, Putin has had a chance to see that Trump’s people can also take out the trash, just not quite as far.

And I didn’t have any popcorn ready! Darn!

[SaveFerris]

yes

[SaveFerris]

I assume you mean as opposed to thermonuclear fission-fusion.

No offense meant. Just for clarification.

[SaveFerris]

I believe you have it correct.

Darn Amish. Oops I mean Norwegian Tree-Hugging Gaia worshipers.

[SaveFerris]

yes

[SaveFerris]

My only complaint would be they were a little too slow. Should have been on him quicker once he started resisting.

[SaveFerris]

Since this is in such close proximity to the President, I mean.

Zero, absolutely zero tolerance.

We used them twice in 1945. What is he complaining about?
