Trump Says He Will Sue BBC For $5 Billion. Why He Faces High Hurdles
November 16, 2025

US President Donald Trump has said he will move ahead with legal action against the BBC even though the British public broadcaster has apologised for the way his speech was edited in a documentary aired last year.

“We’ll sue them. We’ll sue them for anywhere between a billion and 5 billion dollars, probably sometime next week,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One overnight on Saturday.

“We have to do it, they’ve even admitted that they cheated. Not that they couldn’t have not done that. They cheated. They changed the words coming out of my mouth,” he said.
