Former US President Donald Trump is taking legal action against the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). He has filed a defamation lawsuit against the UK's public service broadcaster.
The legal claim follows a satirical cartoon published by the BBC. The cartoon, drawn by artist Ben Jennings, commented on the lawsuit.
Trump's legal team alleges the content is harmful to his reputation. Defamation law covers false statements that damage a person's character.
This case is the latest in a series of lawsuits involving the former president. It highlights ongoing tensions between Trump and major media organizations.
The BBC has not yet issued a public statement regarding the legal filing. The cartoon in question remains available on the broadcaster's website.
