The social media firm Meta said the former US president's suspension will end 'in the coming weeks'.
Donald Trump will be allowed back on to Facebook and Instagram, after Meta announced it would be ending its two-year suspension of his accounts.In a statement, Nick Clegg, Meta's president of global affairs, said the public "should be able to hear what their politicians are saying".
The firm had taken action following Mr Trump's "praise for people engaged in violence at the Capitol", Mr Clegg said."The suspension was an extraordinary decision taken in extraordinary circumstances," he added. But because of Mr Trump's past "violations" he would now face heightened penalties for repeat offences.
Mr Trump posted on his own social media company, Truth Social, in response on Wednesday, saying that Facebook had "lost Billions" after banning "your favorite President, me".
