British government officials support BBC senior executives' response to Trump's lawsuit.

British government officials said in an interview with Sky News on the 16th that the BBC's senior management's "resolute stance" in the face of defamation allegations by US President Trump was correct, and they hope "they can continue to do so." British Minister of Health and Social Care, Stephen Kinnock, stated that the BBC had apologized for errors in the Panorama program. The broader allegations of defamation or slander made by Trump are not valid. The Labour government will always support the BBC. Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey urged Prime Minister Starmer on social media on the 16th to "defend the BBC, oppose Trump's absurd legal threats", and stated that Trump's attempts to interfere in the UK's political system and undermine the national broadcasting institution should not be allowed to succeed.
