Overview

  • President Trump blamed AT&T on Truth Social for technical glitches that stalled a nationwide conference call with tens of thousands of faith leaders.
  • He highlighted that this was the second such outage in recent weeks and apologized to participants for the long delay.
  • Trump directly summoned AT&T’s top executive to intervene and warned that future sessions could be moved to another carrier.
  • AT&T’s share price dipped on heavy trading after his posts then rebounded, and the company has yet to issue a public response.
  • The incident follows the Trump Organization’s licensing of Trump Mobile and intensifies scrutiny over potential conflicts between his public duties and private business interests.
