Protesters in the US have lined a road in Vermont that Vice-President JD Vance was due to drive down following his and President Trump’s angry exchange with Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House.
They held up pro-Ukraine signs on the route in Waitsfield that Vance and his family were expected to take on their way to go skiing.
US media reported the family moved to an undisclosed location from their planned ski resort because of the demonstrations.
Hundreds of people also gathered in New York, Los Angeles and Boston on Saturday to express their support for Ukraine – a day after the furious row in the Oval Office.
Ahead of the Vance family’s trip, Vermont’s governor Phil Scott had urged people to “be respectful” to them.
Scott, the Republican governor who refused to vote for Trump, said: “I welcome the vice-president and his family to Vermont and hope they enjoy their weekend here.
“It’s no surprise they chose Vermont, we’ve had a lot of snow this winter, which has been good for our economy.”
