US President Donald Trump has aroused the surprise, as well as a reproach from HBO, after tweeting a photo of himself with the words "The sanctions are coming on November 5th."

This tweet, which incorporates the slogan of HBO's popular Game of Thrones television series, "Winter is Coming," uses an image similar to Game of Thrones. HBO, owned by AT & T, responded in the same way a few hours later with this tweet:

November 5 is the date on which sanctions against Iran will come into effect after Trump's decision in May to abandon an agreement that previously suspended them. The president, who had not yet expressed a particular preference for Game of Thrones, tweeted ahead of the mid-term elections on 6 November. The network also told CNBC: "We were not aware of this message and would prefer that our brand not be diverted for political purposes. Dothraki is a fictional language spoken by the Dothraki people in George RR Martin's Game of Thrones novels and in HBO's adaptation.
