US President Donald Trump has stated that he feels compelled to take legal action against the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) after being interviewed by a Fox News correspondent, according to footage from the interview.
In the conversation, which took place at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump revealed that he believes he has an obligation to sue the BBC. He made this claim amidst tensions between the US and UK governments, with both sides engaging in a diplomatic spat over various issues, including trade and intelligence cooperation.
Trump's statement was sparked by his criticism of the BBC's coverage of him, which he claims is biased against him. He accused the network of being "very unfair" to him and suggested that it had an agenda that was opposed to his policies.
The president's threat to sue comes as relations between Washington and London have been strained in recent months. The UK government has also taken issue with some of Trump's comments on issues like Brexit and climate change, which he made during a visit to Britain last year.
It remains to be seen whether Trump will actually follow through on his promise to take legal action against the BBC, but his threat has sent shockwaves through the diplomatic community.

! Like, I'm surprised he didn't threaten to sue Fox News too after that interview 
. It's crazy how he thinks he can just take on a global network like BBC and win. The drama between US and UK is getting out of hand, and now Trump wants to bring the heat with his lawyers? 
Not sure if it's all about trying to get attention or what, but either way, this is some wild stuff 
. I mean, have you seen the BBC's coverage of him? It can't be that bad for him to want to sue... maybe he's just not used to people calling him out 
. Either way, we'll be keeping an eye on this one 
!
. i mean, have you seen your hair lately? 
I think this is gonna get messy... I've got sources saying that Trump's team is already talking to some UK lawyers about a possible libel lawsuit against the BBC 
. Like, what even is going on here? The guy just had a convo with Fox News and now he's all bent outta shape because they didn't give him a free pass to trash the BBC 
.
. And honestly, I'm kinda surprised he didn't try this sooner. Like, when did the BBC ever even say anything bad about him? 
.
. I mean, come on, dude! If you're gonna take on the BBC, can't you just have a calm conversation about it instead of threatening to sue them? And what exactly would he be suing them for - bad coverage? Newsflash, Donald: news outlets are supposed to criticize politicians, that's their job! 
. Like, isn't that what journalists are for? To ask tough questions and hold people in power accountable? 
It's all about finding common ground and working together... unless you're Trump, then it's more about trying to get your way and stirring up drama
