原文
Donald Trump has been suspended from his Facebook account for at least two weeks - and possibly indefinitely.
It means the president will be unable to post on Facebook and Instagram until after the transition of power to Joe Biden on 20 January.
The social network had originally imposed a 24-hour ban after his supporters attacked the US Capitol.
Facebook's chief Mark Zuckerberg wrote that the risks of allowing Mr Trump to post "are simply too great".
