【Global Focus: BBC Apologizes to Trump, but Refuses Compensation】

On November 13, 2025, local time in London, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) stated in a statement:

The Chairman of the BBC Board, Samir Shah, sent a private letter to the White House individually. In the letter, he clearly informed President Trump that he and the company regretted the edited and spliced video of the president's speech on January 6, 2021. The company expressed sincere apologies for the broadcast of the edited and spliced video on the BBC program. At the same time, the BBC categorically disagreed with the fact that there was a reason for this case to bring a defamation lawsuit, and refused to meet President Trump's compensation demands.
