FULL STORY ======================================================================Trump says this was the second time AT&T was responsible for a disruption AT&T says it was the video conferencing platform that was at fault We don't know which platform Trump was using - is he a Zoom or Teams man?
US President Donald Trump has criticized AT&T on Truth Social , claiming its network failed during a major conference call with faith leaders.
"Im doing a major Conference Call with Faith Leaders from all over the Country, and AT&T is totally unable to make their equipment work properly," the leader wrote in an online post.
Trump added this was the second time AT&T had caused disruptions to a video conference , calling for improvements to be made to the network's stability. Trump blames AT&T for video call disruption
"If the Boss of AT&T, whoever that may be, could get involved it would be good," the President added, while mentioning that "tens of thousands" of participants were also on the line.
Responding to US Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on X , AT&T wrote: "We've reached out to the White House and are working to quickly understand and assess the situation."
However, in a follow-up reply to the thread, AT&T disclosed the issue was "caused by an issue with the conference call platform, not [the AT&T] network."
Neither AT&T nor the White House have disclosed who the video conferencing provider was in this instance, and Trump is yet to publicly acknowledge
AT&T's response. There are no details on the earlier disruption Trump associated with AT&T, either.
In a follow-up post , Trump "apologize[d] for the long wait on the Faith Leaders Conference Call," adding he may have to reschedule the call using a different provider.
TechRadar Pro has asked AT&T for more details on the incident and the
results of its investigation, but the company did not immediately respond.
