MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US President Donald Trump has said that ABC News and NBC News broadcasters should lose their licenses if they do not pay "big" for broadcasting rights.

"Why is it that ABC and NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the absolute worst and most biased networks anywhere in the World, are not paying Millions of Dollars a year in LICENSE FEES. They should lose their Licenses for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or Conservatives, but at a minimum, they should pay up BIG for having the privilege of using the most valuable airwaves anywhere at anytime!!!" Trump said on Truth Social late Sunday.
