Twitter removes Trump campaign’s video over George Floyd

WASHINGTON:  Twitter has removed a video shared by promotional team of United States President Donald Trump in tribute to George Floyd, a black American man killed by police last week.

In a video shared on Donald Trump’s official Twitter account which was less than 4 minutes, a tribute was given to George Floyd.

However, Twitter removed the video shared by the US President’s advertising team and stated that the said video was removed after a copyright complaint.

The Twitter administration did not say where it received the copyright complaint from the video, but the video was immediately removed from Twitter.

After the video was shared on the official account of the advertising team, it was retweeted by Donald Trump and his son, Jr. Donald Trump, while it was also retweeted by dozens of other people.

The video shows protests over the death of George Floyd, who was killed by police, as well as a public tribute to him.

Behind the scenes in the video, Donald Trump’s voice can be heard expressing his sorrow over the death of a black American man, including calling it a tragic event.
