Police clashed with protesters and used water cannons in several Swiss cities on Tuesday. The demonstrations targeted U.S. President Donald Trump's scheduled appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
In Basel and Zurich, some protesters burned American flags. Riot police were deployed to control the crowds.
The annual Davos meeting attracts global business and political leaders. Protest organizers say they are demonstrating against Trump's policies on climate change and inequality.
Local authorities reported several arrests but no major injuries. President Trump is expected to address the forum later this week.
