Popular video streaming platform YouTube on Wednesday suspended United States President Donald Trump’s channel for at least a week, and removed new content uploaded to it, saying it violated the company’s policies and ran the risk of inciting violence.
Trump’s channel is now prevented from uploading new videos or live streams for a minimum of seven days, YouTube said in a statement. The company declined to share details of the video due to which restrictions were imposed. It said the decision to suspend his account will be revisited after one week.
