The United States President, on Monday afternoon, expressed frustration online regarding his telecommunications service provider and said, "AT&T ought to get its act together."
Donald Trump posted on Truth Social about his inability to commence a conference call with religious leaders nationwide due to technical issues.
"AT&T is totally unable to make their equipment work properly," the Republican president said in a post. "This is the second time it's happened. If the Boss of AT&T, whoever that may be, could get involved — It would be good. There are tens of thousands of people on the line!"
Subsequently, Trump posted, "AT&T ought to get its act together."
AT&T representatives responded to the White House press secretary's post about Trump's concerns.
"We've reached out to the White House and are working to quickly understand and assess the situation," AT&T stated.
According to an anonymous White House official unauthorised to speak publicly, AT&T responded immediately. The issue was resolved, resulting in a 20-minute delay to the call.
AT&T released a statement on X on Monday night explaining that "the disruption was caused by an issue with the conference call platform, not our network. Unfortunately, this caused the delay, and we are working diligently to better understand the issue so we can prevent disruptions in the future."
Trump frequently expresses his grievances on social media, targeting various entities from foreign leaders to media organisations.
The delayed call was not listed on his official schedule.
The call included 8,000 to 10,000 Christian, Jewish and Muslim faith leaders, marking the first in a series of regular White House communications with religious leaders.
During the 15-minute call, the official noted that Trump discussed his tax reduction and spending cuts legislation, child tax credit improvements, the Israel-Iran ceasefire, African peace agreements, and his pardons for anti-abortion activists.
