President Donald Trump said he will sue the BBC for up to $5 billion after the broadcaster apologized for a misleading edit of his speech but refused compensation. Speaking aboard Air Force One, he pledged to file probably next week and to raise the issue with Keir Starmer. The dispute centers on a Panorama documentary that spliced remarks more than 50 minutes apart and cut a call for peaceful protest, prompting the resignations of Director General Tim Davie and Chief Executive of News Deborah Turness. The BBC apologized in a letter but said there is no basis for defamation.
