Twitter disables Trump video tribute to Floyd over copyright

Twitter has removed a video tribute to George Floyd from US President Donald Trump's campaign account over copyright issues.

The four-minute video, which has been retweeted nearly 7,000 times, has a collation of images from the protests with Trump calling it a "grave tragedy" before warning about violence from "radical leftwing groups".

The social media giant said they were responding "to valid copyright complaints sent to us by a copyright owner or their authorised representatives".

The video has also been posted on Trump's YouTube channel on June 3.

Trump has been at loggerheads with Twitter ever since the firm fact-checked one of his tweets, and labelled another for "glorifying violence".
