NEW YORK- Twitter on Tuesday put a warning label on a tweet from President Donald Trump in which he warned if protesters tried to set up an "autonomous zone" in Washington DC they would be "met with serious force!"

"We've placed a public interest notice on this Tweet for violating our policy against abusive behavior, specifically, the presence of a threat of harm against an identifiable group," Twitter said.

Twitter users, including Trump's supporters, will be unable to retweet the offending tweet due to the measure.

The company explained that although the tweet broke its rules it "will remain on the service given its relevance to ongoing public conversation."

Trump posted the same message on Facebook. CNN has reached out to Facebook for comment.

WASHINGTON- The American website "Antiwar" has stressed that the US aggression being launched on Syria reached this month, June 2020, a new level with extreme sanctions known as the "Caesar Act", a fraudulent law that claims it “protects Syrian civilians”.

"The Caesar Act is fraudulent by claiming to “protect civilians”. In reality, it punishes and hurts the vast majority of 17 million persons living in Syria. It will result in thousands of civilians suffering and dying needlessly," the website said.

The website added that the United States is still impeding humanitarian and relief aid deliveries, stressing that the US and EU blocked all aid for reconstruction and the US and allies were intent to NOT allow Syria to rebuild and reconstruct.

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton recounts in his forthcoming memoir that President Donald Trump said members of the news media are "scumbags" who should be "executed."

NEW DELHI, (ST)- M.K. Bhadrakumar, a former Indian diplomat, has criticized the US international policy, pointing out that it is practicing “hypocrisy” particularly in dealing with international organizations.

“Trump’s diatribe against the ICC exposes the hypocrisy of the American policies, which keep blabbering about a “rules-based” international order while acting with impunity wherever it chooses, for geopolitical reasons,” said Bhadrakumar in an article in the News Click newspaper.

America’s withdrawal from Paris Agreement on climate change, UN Human Rights Council, UNESCO, WHO and ICC in addition to imposing unfair sanctions on sovereign countries like Syria prove that America under Trump has now become the rogue elephant in the international system, the former Indian diplomat added.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said that coronavirus has triggered the worst global recession in almost 100 years and laid out two scenarios for its impact on the world economy.

It warned that a second wave of coronavirus infections would lead to even more disruption and economic scarring.
