The BBC is awaiting a response from Donald Trump, after the corporation apologised for the editing of a speech by the US president which appeared on Panorama in 2024.

The corporation said the splicing of the speech was an “error of judgment” but rejected his demands for compensation, after Mr Trump’s lawyers threatened to sue the BBC for one billion dollars in damages unless a retraction and apology was published.
