United States President Donald Trump has announced that anyone who burns the American flag would be arrested and sentenced to one year in prison.

Trump announced this in a post on his Truth Social media account on Friday.

The US President also highlighted 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.
