U.S. President Donald J. Trump smiles during the State of the Union address in the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives January 30, 2018 in Washington, DC. This is the first State of the Union address given by U.S. President Donald Trump and his second joint-session address to Congress.
He said that if ever the Twitter acquisition becomes successful, he would reverse the permanent ban on the ex-POTUS.
The tech CEO explained that permanent bans undermine the trust in Twitter as a platform that allows users to voice their opinions, as reported by USA Today.
Now, it seems like he will really allow the former American leader back on Twitter.
