Trump Blames AT&T for Faith Leaders Call Disruption

U.S. President Donald Trump attributed technical difficulties during a conference call with faith leaders to AT&T, sparking a blame game between the administration and the wireless provider. Despite Trump's critiques on social media, AT&T maintained that the problem did not stem from its network.

The call, intended for a nationwide audience of religious leaders, encountered disruptions, prompting Trump to suggest the possibility of using a different carrier for future communications. This was the second such interruption cited by the president, who urged AT&T's leadership to address the issue.

The spat follows a history of tension between Trump and AT&T, particularly during his first term, when he criticized the company for its ownership of CNN. Recently, Trump's business ventures include launching 'Trump Mobile.' AT&T shares saw a brief dip following Trump's comments.
