LONDON (AP) — A U.S. judge said President Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC can go to trial in 2027.

Judge Roy K. Altman of the federal court for the Southern District of Florida rejected an attempt by Britain’s national broadcaster to delay proceedings.

He set a February 2027 trial date.

Trump filed a lawsuit in December over the way the BBC edited a speech he gave on Jan. 6, 2021. The claim seeks $5 billion in damages for defamation and $5 billion for unfair trade practices.
