US President Donald Trump said he would take legal action against the BBC over the way it covered his speech, after the corporation apologized but refused to compensate him.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday evening, Trump said: "We're going to sue them for something between $1 billion and $5 billion, probably next week."

On Thursday, the BBC said that the editing of the January 6, 2021 speech had inadvertently given “the false impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action” and said it would no longer be broadcast.

The company apologized to the president but said it would not pay financial compensation.

The BBC released that statement after Trump's lawyers threatened to sue the BBC for $1 billion in damages unless the corporation issued a retraction, apology and paid him compensation.

"I think I should do it," Trump told reporters of his plan to take legal action.

"They cheated. They changed the words that came out of my mouth," he added.

The president said he had not raised the issue with Sir Keir Starmer, but that the prime minister had asked to speak to him. Trump said he would call Starmer over the weekend.

A search of public court databases confirmed that no lawsuits had been filed in federal or state court in Florida as of Friday evening.

In an interview on Saturday recorded before his comments on Air Force One, Trump said he had an "obligation" to sue the BBC, adding: "If you don't, it doesn't stop it from happening again to other people."

He called the editing "ugly" and "worse than the Kamala thing," a reference to a dispute he had with the American news agency CBS over an interview on the 60 Minutes program with his 2024 election opponent, Kamala Harris.

In July of this year, American media company Paramount Global agreed to pay $16 million to settle a legal dispute over that interview.
