United States President, Donald Trump has revealed that anyone who burns the American flag will be immediately arrested and face a one-year prison term.
Trump stated this in a post via his Truth Social media account on Friday.
The US leader also cited his August 25 executive order on flag desecration.
“To ICE, Border Patrol, Law Enforcement, and all U.S. Military: As per my August 25, 2025, Executive Order, please be advised that, from this point forward, anybody burning the American Flag will be subject to one year in prison,” Trump said.
“You will be immediately arrested. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Trump has long pushed to punish American flag desecration.
In August, the Republican signed an executive order instructing federal prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against individuals who burn American flags during protests.
