The lucrative television companies at the heart of the conflict between Trump and the major US networks.

Controversy and debate continue in the United States following the recent news that Jimmy Kimmel's television show will be suspended indefinitely. Although some supporters of President Donald Trump consider the move "excellent news," some prominent figures in the political world and Hollywood believe it symbolizes an attack on freedom of expression. Jimmy Kimmel Live!, ABC's late-night program, was taken off the air by the US network after receiving warnings from the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), the media regulator in the United States. Kimmel suggested in a monologue that Trump supporters are "looking to score political points" over the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which took place on the 10th.
