France and Germany query Trump Twitter ban
By EUobserver
German chancellor Angela Merkel spoke out against Twitter for banning US president Donald Trump, following his incitement for violence ahead of the riots in the Capitol last week. "The chancellor sees the complete closing down of the account of an elected president as problematic," said her spokesperson, Steffen Seibert. Similar comments were made by French junior minister for EU affairs, Clement Beaune, who said he was "shocked".
