Trump claims 'obligation' to sue BBC over its controversia edit of his speech

United States President Donald Trump has stated he feels an 'obligation' to sue the British Broadcasting Corporation over a controversial edit of his speech, which he claims misrepresented his remarks ahead of the 2021 Capitol events. Trump's legal team has demanded a retraction, apology, and compensation, threatening a billion-dollar lawsuit if the broadcaster does not comply. The BBC has apologized for the editing error and is reviewing the legal letter, while its director general and top news executive have resigned amid the fallout. The incident has sparked debate in Britain, with public opinion divided on whether the broadcaster should apologize directly to Trump, and comes at a sensitive time as the BBC prepares to renegotiate its Royal Charter.
