Mr Trump said that if Ms Harris, the likely Democratic nominee, does not agree to the new network and date, he will do a “major Town Hall” with Fox News.

Donald Trump has said he is pulling out of a scheduled September debate with US vice president Kamala Harris on ABC and wants them to face off on Fox News, making it increasingly unlikely the candidates will confront each other on stage before the November election.

In a series of Truth Social posts, the Republican nominee and former president said his agreement to a September 10 debate on ABC “has been terminated” because he will no longer face Democratic President Joe Biden, who ended his campaign last month after a disastrous performance in their first debate.
