Twitter has taken down a video tribute to George Floyd posted by the Trump campaign´s official account, further escalating tensions with the president.

The video, posted by @TeamTrump on Wednesday, is almost four minutes long and features a speech from President Donald Trump played over various photos and videos to sad piano music.

In it, Trump describes the killing of George Floyd as a "grave tragedy" and says his memory is being "dishonored by rioters, looters, and anarchists." He also claims "violence and vandalism is being led by antifa and other radical left-wing groups," something for which there is little evidence. The video, titled "Healing, not Hatred," is still up on the president´s YouTube channel.
