US President Donald Trump has vowed to take legal action against the BBC, stating that he feels a "huge obligation" to sue the British broadcaster.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump reiterated his claims of being unfairly targeted by the BBC and its journalists. He accused the network of having a "big problem" with him and stated that their coverage was "very unfair".
Trump also claimed that the BBC's coverage of his presidency had been "terrible" and that he felt they were "rooting against me". When asked if he would take legal action, Trump responded by saying that he did not want to do so yet but felt a strong obligation to sue.
The comments from Trump come amid ongoing tensions between the US and UK over various issues including trade and security. The BBC has consistently denied any wrongdoing in its coverage of Trump, with many of its journalists arguing that they have reported factually accurate information.
Trump's comments are likely to fuel further controversy and raise questions about the limits of free speech and press freedom in both countries.

I'm so shocked by trump's response!! like, i get it if you feel targeted but suing the bbc? that's just crazy talk 
and honestly can't we all just get along?! 
the bbc is a respected news org and they've always tried to do their job fairly. maybe trumps team should focus on being more constructive instead of all this drama? 
like seriously who does he think he is trying to strong arm the bbc into changing their coverage just cuz he dont like it? newsflash trump u can't control how others cover u its not personal its journalism and if u got a problem with that maybe u should be reporting ur own news instead of whining about others doing it 
i mean seriously who takes the time to sue some random bbc journalist over something thats just part of their job like whats next is he gonna try to sue google for having bad search results on him lol
. We need to keep holding our leaders accountable for their actions, even if it's uncomfortable or difficult. And let's not forget that a free press is essential to a healthy democracy 
. and yikes, trade and security tensions between usa & uk are already bad enough 
no need 2 add this drama to the mix 
i cant wait 2 see how this all plays out 
Free speech is important, but so is not being a bully. I mean, if Trump's gonna sue the BBC, maybe he should be looking in the mirror too... 
So I think this is just another example of how hard it can be for a public figure like Trump to handle criticism, especially from someone as established and respected as the BBC 
. Trump's threats of legal action are just going to fuel more controversy and make it harder for the BBC to do their job without bias accusations coming their way 
. And let's not forget, the BBC has a reputation for fact-checking and journalistic integrity - if anyone has been unfairly targeted, it's probably Trump.
. The media landscape is already super competitive and polarizing, but when you've got someone like Trump who's used to getting their way through lawsuits and Twitter rants, it's going to be tough for anyone else to get a word in edgewise 
. It's time for both the US and UK to take a step back, breathe, and remember that freedom of speech is a two-way street 
. The world is watching this unfold and it's gonna be a wild ride
