📺 U.S. President Donald Trump said aboard Air Force One on Friday, November 14, 2025, that he plans to sue the BBC for anywhere between $1 billion and $5 billion. He was reacting to the broadcaster's apology over the editing of his January 6, 2021 speech in a Panorama program.
🔍 The BBC clarified earlier this week that the edit had unintentionally created 'the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action.' The apology came with a promise not to air the segment again – but no financial compensation was offered.
⚖️ Trump told reporters he could file the lawsuit as early as next week, kicking off what's sure to be a major legal battle. Will it shake up media editing standards? We'll be watching. Stay tuned! 👀
