The Google-owned video platform has once again decided to extend the ban on the former President of the United States due to "ongoing potential for violence".
In a statement to CNET, a spokesperson said: "In light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence, the Donald J. Trump channel will remain suspended.
"Our teams are staying vigilant and closely monitoring for any new developments."
The account was banned from posting videos on January 12 in the build-up to Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20, and the decision came after the US Capitol riots on January 6.
Meanwhile, comments on Trump's videos will also remain disabled indefinitely.
As well as YouTube's suspension, Twitter permanently banned Trump, and Facebook has indefinitely blocked his account.
Although YouTube has a three-strike policy on its platform, the extension to Trump's suspension isn't a second strike.
The first against him was due to his channel violating the site's policies against inciting violence.
Three infractions within a 90-day period results in a permanent ban, with the second strike coming with a two-week ban.
However, according to CNET a company spokeswoman didn't respond to questions about "what specifically triggered the extension".
In a previous statement, Google said: "After review, and in light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence, we removed new content uploaded to Donald J Trump's channel for violating our policies.
"It now has its first strike and is temporarily prevented from uploading new content for a minimum of seven days.
"Given the ongoing concerns about violence, we will also be indefinitely disabling comments on President Trump's channel, as we've done to other channels where there are safety concerns found in the comments section."
