The Trump family media company has partnered with GB News to broadcast the British news channel on its US streaming platform, Truth+.
Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), which operates the social media app Truth Social, the streaming platform Truth+, and the FinTech brand Truth.Fi, announced on Friday it will add GB News to its list of available channels, making it accessible to most countries globally, including the US.
GB News, which has hosted rightwing commentators such as Nigel Farage, will be offered with the free basic package on Truth+, and can be accessed through several devices and platforms including iOS, Android, Web, Apple TV, Android TV, and Amazon Fire.
The US president continues to criticise the mainstream media, filing lawsuits against giants such as Rupert Murdoch, as well as broadcasters and smaller newspapers.
Earlier this year, Trump said the US media was full of “radical-left monsters”, who were guilty of “illegal” reporting.
More recently the White House communications director, Steven Cheung, said “liberal media” is spreading “fake news” in relation to reports, claiming that Trump’s name appeared in US justice department files about Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump Media’s chief executive and chairperson, Devin Nunes, said in a statement: “GB News is a terrific source for news, facts and commentary.
“By expanding its global reach, we aim to connect an enormous new, international audience to the network’s unique reporting and opinion, while putting another dent in the global woke news monopoly.”

Angelos Frangopoulos, GB News’s chief executive, said: “As the fearless champion of freedom of speech in Britain, it is important that we launch across the United States of America and globally on the Truth+ streaming platform.”
