In the US, protesters picketed in front of Trump's golf club

Protesters against the migration policy of US President Donald Trump held a picket near a golf club where the country's leader was vacationing. This was reported by Reuters on February 8.

"On Saturday, a group of demonstrators gathered near the Trump International Golf Club to protest against President Donald Trump's immigration policy while the commander-in-chief was spending his free time at the club," the agency reported.

Protesters chanted "Immigrants make America great" while holding flags of Guatemala, Mexico and the United States. One of the placards also prominently displayed the Spanish-language inscription "The American dream is also ours."

This became a reference to Trump's campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
