BBC chair Samir Shah sent a personal letter to Trump saying "he and the Corporation are sorry for the edit of the President’s speech," adding that Panorama won't air again on the BBC.

Shah added that while he "sincerely regrets" the edits, he doesn't think there's a "basis for a defamation claim."

1/2 #Trump regime's immigration policy and anti-woke campaign is racist. His rhetoric harkens back to #Mussolini's "Make Italy Great Again" movement, and his use of federal troops is an attempt to enforce his personal will on the people.

It's called #fascism.
