Bloomberg Talks · Howard Stringer Talks Trump's Threats to BBC · 17 Nov 2025 podcast

I think that the mistakes that were made, which have been presented accumulatively, gives a mistaken impression that there's something institutionally wrong with the BBC news.

These were mistakes that have now been acknowledged and should have been acknowledged earlier

But I don't think there's anything about the BBC that should be suspect.

I think the BBC, like Britain, is an astonishing ally of the United States and an important one.

And I think the President of the United States

knows that.

In my dealings with him, I think he knew it, and he was always fair and generous.

I think he's fired the shot across the brows of the BBC.

They will pay attention, they have made changes, and that will be good.

But the BBC is an important global institution, and I don't believe you stop breaking up great institutions during a crisis.

Well, I was sued in America, as you remember, over the General Westman.

I think it went on for years.

And I don't think...

I don't think President Trump will keep at this.

I think he is much bigger fish to fry.

I think he has sent a very important message.

I think the BBC will respond accordingly.

And I hope he doesn't expect the British public to pay that kind of money.

I think his generosity will save the day.

I mean, he's still in good shape.
