Hours before US President Donald Trump planned a fiery Mount Rushmore speech on Friday, protesters blocked a road leading to the monument.

Authorities worked to move the demonstrators, mostly Native Americans protesting that South Dakota's Black Hills were taken from the Lakota people against treaty agreements.

About 15 protesters were arrested after missing a police-imposed deadline to leave.
