Donald Trump will be allowed back onto Facebook and Instagram, after Meta announced it would be ending its two-year suspension of his accounts.

The suspension will end "in the coming weeks", the social media giant said.

The then-US president was indefinitely suspended from Facebook and Instagram after the Capitol riots in 2021.

Republicans have been pressing for Mr Trump to be allowed back on Facebook as he prepares to run for the presidency again next year.
