UK government is caught up in a feud between Trump and the BBC

LONDON (AP) — The British government is addressing a dispute between the BBC and Donald Trump. Trump is threatening to sue the broadcaster over how it edited a speech he made after losing the 2020 election. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is expected to make a statement in the House of Commons. Critics want changes to the BBC, while supporters urge the government to protect it from political interference. The BBC has apologized for misleading editing in a documentary. Trump’s lawyer is demanding a retraction, apology, and compensation. The BBC has not yet formally responded to these demands.
