$1 billion lawsuit or apology: Donald Trump warns BBC with ultimatum; sets deadline - The Times of India
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to the BBC, demanding an apology or facing a $1 billion lawsuit. The dispute stems from a BBC report that Trump claims contained false and damaging information about him. He has given the network a specific deadline to retract the story and issue a public apology. Trump’s legal team argues that the report was intentionally misleading and aimed to harm his reputation ahead of the upcoming elections. The BBC has yet to respond publicly to the ultimatum. This confrontation adds to Trump’s ongoing battles with major media outlets, many of which he accuses of bias and misinformation. The former president insists that he will not tolerate what he calls “fake reporting,” and his latest warning signals a potentially high-profile legal clash between a global media organization and a prominent political figure.
