US President Donald Trump will sue the BBC for between one and five billion dollars after the company admitted that it heavily edited a speech by Trump on January 6, 2021.

"I think I have to do it. They have admitted that they cheated," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.

The president further says he plans to file the lawsuit, which is worth around 6 to 31 billion kronor, next week.

The issue concerns the editing of the speech that Trump gave and which was shown in the documentary “Panorama.” The editing, where two parts of the speech were cut together, gives the impression that the president directly calls for violence before the storming of the Capitol building.

The BBC has previously rejected Trump's claim for damages.
