US President Donald Trump announced plans to file a lawsuit against the BBC next week, seeking damages between $1 billion and $5 billion, despite the broadcaster’s apology for a misleading edit of one of his speeches. The BBC had issued a personal apology to Trump and admitted the edit was an 'error of judgment' but rejected his legal and financial demands, stating there was no basis for a defamation claim. The controversy stems from a Panorama documentary that spliced parts of Trump’s speech, creating a misleading impression. The program aired shortly before the US election and has since been withdrawn. The incident has already led to the resignations of BBC Director General Tim Davie and BBC News Chief Deborah Turness. Trump criticized the edit as 'corrupt' and said he had not yet discussed the issue with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer but planned to do so soon.
