US President Donald Trump's speech at a rally in Texas was repeatedly interrupted by protesters in the crowd, The Guardian and Walla reported. According to the reports, at least 12 people disrupted the event, and several were escorted out by police officers, including one person who was handcuffed.

The interruptions prompted repeated pauses during the president's address. Trump claimed that the demonstrators were paid and responded to one heckler by remarking that he was returning home to his mother, unaware that she had voted for Trump. Among the demonstrators was an individual wearing a shirt bearing the message "SOS Cuba." Further details regarding the identities of the protesters have not yet been released.
