Trump LIVE: US President to make major address after $1bn BBC threat

US President Donald Trump is preparing to give remarks at a Veterans Day wreath-laying ceremony amid his ongoing feud with the BBC.

He will make an address at Arlington National Cemetery on Tuesday as he also battles to open up the US government following a long shutdown.

On Monday, Mr Trump threatened to sue the BBC for $1billion after the corporation apologised for editing one of his speeches.

The spliced edit showed a speech made by Mr Trump before the 2021 Capitol riot, including a clip of him telling his supporters to "fight like hell."

The President has given the BBC until Friday to retract the clip, apologise, and "appropriately compensate" him.
