x: int = 5

if True:
    global x
    x += 1

passes mypy, but raises a syntax error when run: SyntaxError: annotated name 'x' can't be global

Similar things happen with nonlocal in the proper context.

This looks like a mypy bug. Thanks for reporting this!

Indeed, the syntax error is specified PEP 526.
