US President Donald Trump has said he still intends to take legal action against the BBC over a misleading edit of his speech on Jan. 6, 2021.

The BBC has issued a public apology to the president, but said it “strongly disagreed there is a basis for a defamation claim.”

In addition to insisting that the apology won't stop a lawsuit, Trump said Friday night that he planned to speak to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer soon, noting, ”He actually put a call into me. He’s very embarrassed.”

“The UK is very, very embarrassed by BBC, what they did,” Trump said.

Legal experts have stated that Trump would likely face challenges in taking the case to court in the U.K. or the U.S. They argue that the BBC could demonstrate that Trump wasn’t harmed, as he was ultimately elected president in 2024.

While many legal experts have dismissed the president’s claims against the media as having little merit, he has won some lucrative settlements against U.S. media companies and he could try to leverage the BBC mistake for a payout, potentially to a charity of his choice.
