U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed plans to pursue legal action against The New York Times, accusing the newspaper of spreading falsehoods about him and his family.
In a post shared on Truth Social on Monday, Trump declared:
“Today, I have the Great Honour of bringing a $15 billion and Libel Lawsuit against The New York Times.”
He indicated that the case would be filed in Florida but did not provide additional specifics on the proceedings.
The Times has yet to issue a response to the announcement, with no immediate comment available outside normal working hours.
Trump maintained that the paper has deliberately misrepresented him, stating that it had lied about his personal life, his relatives, and his business interests.
