Just two months after initiating legal action against President-elect Donald Trump and his campaign over the unpermitted use of their song “Seven Nation Army,” the iconic rock duo The White Stripes has decided to drop the lawsuit.

According to a court filing in New York checked by YSL News on Monday, musicians Jack and Meg White — who ended the band’s activities in 2011 — have voluntarily withdrawn their copyright infringement lawsuit without providing a specific reason.

A representative for the Whites declined to provide a comment.

On August 29, Jack White had warned of potential legal steps against Trump after Margo Martin, deputy director of communications for his 2024 presidential campaign, posted a video showing Trump boarding a plane set to the tune of their 2003 hit “Seven Nation Army,” noted for its distinctive guitar riff.

Jack White expressed his anger in a post where he wrote, “Oh  Don’t even think about using my music you fascists,” alongside a recording of Martin’s video. He mentioned, “A lawsuit is coming from my lawyers about this (to add to your 5 thousand others.) Have a great day at work today Margo Martin.”

Following that, The White Stripes formally sued Trump, his campaign, and Martin for what they called the unauthorized use of “Seven Nation Army.”

In their legal complaint, they argued that the song was used to enhance Trump’s public persona and support his campaign without their consent, which infringed on their rights under copyright law.

The duo claimed that the use of their song was particularly troubling because they have consistently opposed Trump’s policies and actions during his presidency, as well as his ambitions for a second term. They noted in their lawsuit that Trump and his campaign ignored their concerns regarding Martin’s video.

In their lawsuit, Jack and Meg White highlighted their long-standing opposition to Trump; in 2016, they stated their dismay over being associated with him following a pro-Trump video that used “Seven Nation Army.” Jack White even released merchandise featuring the phrase “Icky Trump,” a nod to their album “Icky Thump” from 2007.

Trump has made statements promising “retribution” in recent years, indicating intentions to pursue his political adversaries during another term. Some of his supporters have suggested that he might not follow through on threats of legal action against various political figures, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
