The BBC has apologized to U.S. President Donald Trump for a misleading edit of one of his speeches, while firmly rejecting his legal team's $1 billion defamation claim. This apology follows a controversial documentary aired in October 2024 and amid investigations into a second potentially misleading edit of his speech from January 6, 2021.

• The BBC's chairman, Samir Shah, sent a personal letter to the White House expressing apologies for the video edit.
• The video edit gave the impression that Trump directly urged "violent action" before the January 6, 2021, Capitol assault.
• Trump's legal team has threatened to sue for $1 billion over the edit, a claim the BBC strongly disputes as lacking a legal basis.
