US President Donald Trump has threatened unspecified action against any protesters who show up at his weekend re-election rally at Tulsa in Oklahoma.
Key points:

- More than 100,000 people are expected at the Tulsa rally on Sunday, Australian time
- The mass gathering has sparked fresh fears about coronavirus transmission
“Any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going to Oklahoma please understand, you will not be treated like you have been in New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis. It will be a much different scene!” Mr Trump wrote on Twitter.
