- Donald Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit in Florida federal court against the BBC for misleading editing and violation of trade laws.

- BBC acknowledged the errors, leading to the resignations of its director general and news CEO, and igniting a global media responsibility debate.
- The BBC plans to contest the lawsuit, citing the documentary’s UK-only broadcast and legal challenges proving jurisdiction and reputational harm in the US.
They made me say things I never said. I guess they used AI or something.— Donald Trump explains his lawsuit against the BBC during a press briefing.
