Two Wall Street banks are cutting loose from the US President after Donald Trump incited violence against the US Capitol earlier this month.

Deutsche Bank has opted to halt any future business with Trump, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg. The President still owes the German lender more than $300m, after his longtime personal banker resigned from the bank in December.
