White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed suggestions that President Donald Trump’s threat to sue the BBC has strained his relationship with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, calling the broadcaster a “leftist propaganda machine.”<br /><br />Speaking at the daily press briefing, Leavitt said the president’s position on the BBC is not personal but principled — rooted in concerns about “media bias and manipulation.”<br /><br />“The President has made very clear that this is a leftist propaganda machine,” Leavitt told reporters. “He has no issue with Prime Minister Starmer or the people of the United Kingdom. This is about holding global media institutions accountable for spreading misinformation.”<br /><br />The remarks come after Trump’s legal team hinted at possible defamation action against the BBC, following its recent reporting on financial documents linked to the president.<br /><br />#KarolineLeavitt #DonaldTrump #BBC #KeirStarmer #WhiteHouse #TrumpNews #MediaFreedom #PressBriefing #UKPolitics #USUKRelations #BreakingNews #PoliticalNews #APT #TrumpBBC #FakeNews
