Donald Trump suggests networks that carry critical coverage should lose licenses, amid calls for boycott of ABC owner Disney – key US politics stories from 18 September 2025
Donald Trump suggested on Thursday the TV networks that cover him “negatively” could lose their licenses after he celebrated ABC suspending late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.
The president said major US networks were “97% against me”, though he did not offer evidence to support this figure. “They give me only bad press. I mean they’re getting a license. I would think maybe their licenses should be taken away.”
