The White House did not immediately comment on the BBC’s apology. Speaking to Air Force reporters on Friday night, Mr. Trump said, “We’re going to arrange for them anywhere between $5 billion, probably sometime next week.”
The BBC’s response to Mr. Trump’s Team put forward five main arguments why the organization believes that there is no legal case against it, said the BBC. CBS News has not seen the letter sent by the BBC in response to Mr Trump’s legal team.
According to BBC News’ report, those arguments include that the episode in question is not aired in the US; That it did not cause injury to Mr. Trump, as he won the election a week later; and that the editing that was done was intended to shorten the long speech rather than to mislead. It also stated that the clip was not meant to be taken in isolation, and that matters of public concern and political speech are protected under US law.
A United States foreign policy expert told CBS News that the BBC’s response appeared to be ‘cautious and sympathetic.’
“Obviously President Trump owed him a full apology and he had that,” UK-based Attorney General Stephens told CBS news. “I don’t think he has the right to be hurt, and because of that, he hung well and it’s difficult in that matter. But, now, this has been a big victory for the President.”

It explained the demands of Mr. Trump said that the BBC also rejected the document, issued an apology and “proper compensation to President Trump for the harm caused.”
The letter did not specify what would be considered fair compensation, but warned that if the BBC failed to comply with Mr. Trump’s demands on Friday at 5 p.m. (Mr. Trump will file “legal action (one billion dollars) for damages).”
Stephens told CBS news that while it is possible that Mr. Trump will present a case against the case against the BBC in the US, “there are a lot of legal issues with Trivewires.”
First, Stefames said, the program that included the clip was not shown in the US
“You cannot be reduced to the standard of right-thinking people by a program that cannot be seen by the American audience. Therefore, you cannot sue,” said the power to sue Sue, America, “he said.
He also said that because Mr. Trump is “the president, the real public,” his criticism is protected under the first amendment.
Even if this case goes through those hurdles, they wonder, said the lawyers who are Stefambe, “say the lawyers, they were able to identify all kinds of things found in the past.”
