The channel cannot upload for a minimum of seven days - which may be extended, and earlier content had been removed, Youtube said in a statement. It did not give details about the video that prompted the move.
"After careful review, and in light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence, we removed new content uploaded to the Donald J. Trump channel and issued a strike for violating our policies for inciting violence," a YouTube spokesperson said in a statement to CNN.
"As a result, in accordance with our long-standing strikes system, the channel is now prevented from uploading new videos or livestreams for a minimum of seven days — which may be extended."
YouTube said it would also disable comments underneath videos on Trump's channel.
The move comes amid a push to combat misinformation and the incitement of violence online, after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building last week trying to halt the certification by Congress of President-elect Joe Biden's election win.
Following the riot, social media platforms including Facebook removed Trump's account and Twitter tightened enforcement around misinformation policies. Amazon.com Inc suspended Parler, a social media platform favored by many supporters of Trump, from its web hosting service.
Trump, who has challenged the validity of Biden's victory without producing evidence, initially praised his supporters but later condemned the violence.
Lawmakers were forced to flee as the building was mobbed by protesters who overwhelmed security forces. Five people died in the violence, including one Capitol Police officer.
I suppose we had better get down on our hands and Knees and start grovelling to our new Master Xi Jinping. Its all over red rover!
The Republicans will rue the day they Let Trump down, They will Never be in power ever again. The shonky DemocRATS being in charge will always set the Election rules and cheat and Lie so they will stay perpetually in Power.
Start expecting to see Leftard repercussions and the cancelling out of any and all patriot's and conservatives within a short time of the ascendancy of Shonky Biden and Crazy Kamala.
