The Rolling Stones have warned US President Donald Trump that he could face legal action if he continues using their songs at his campaign rallies.
A statement from the band's legal team said it was working with the performing rights organisation, the BMI, to stop the unauthorised use of their music.
The Trump campaign used the song You Can't Always Get What You Want at last week's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The same song was used by the Trump campaign during the 2016 US election.
"The Rolling Stones do not endorse Donald Trump," the band tweeted in 2016.

As the US gears up for November's presidential election, Joe Biden has announced he won't hold campaign rallies.
"I'm going to follow the doc's orders - not just for me but for the country - and that means that I am not going to be holding rallies," the former vice-president and Democratic nominee said on Tuesday.
It's a stark contrast to the stance of his rival, President Donald Trump, who held his first campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in June despite health warnings - although turnout was lower than expected and no new rallies have been announced.
The US has recorded more than 40,000 new coronavirus cases on four of the last five days.
