US President Donald Trump said he admits the possibility of closing Twitter, but will proceed from the actions of lawyers. His remarks came during the briefing with journalists in the White House.

"I think we shut it down, as far as I'm concerned, but I'd have to go through a legal process," the president told reporters. "If it were able to be legally shut down, I would do it," Business Insider reported quoting Trump.

Trump on Thursday signed an executive decree on regulating the activities of social networks.
