President Trump knocked AT&T after his conference call experienced glitches.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m 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,\u201d Trump wrote Monday in a post<\/a> on Truth Social.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the second time it\u2019s happened,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf the Boss of AT&T, whoever that may be, could get involved \u2014 It would be good. There are tens of thousands of people on the line!\u201d<\/p>\n In another post, Trump apologized to the faith leaders<\/a> for the \u201clong wait,\u201d adding that \u201cAT&T ought to get its act together.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPlease pass along the word to the tens of thousands of people who are there,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe may have to reschedule the call, but we\u2019ll use another carrier the next time. AT&T obviously doesn\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing!\u201d<\/p>\n AT&T\u2019s account on social platform X responded to screenshots<\/a> of Trump\u2019s post.<\/p>\n \u201cWe’ve reached out to the White House and are working to quickly understand and assess the situation,\u201d the post read.<\/p>\n In a follow-up message, AT&T representatives said their initial assessment suggests the problem stemmed from the conference call platform, not from AT&T\u2019s network. <\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, this caused the delay, and we are working diligently to better understand the issue so we can prevent disruptions in the future,\u201d according to the company\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n A White House official confirmed to The Hill that AT&T reached out immediately but was unable to resolve the issue. A member of the White House team fixed the issue, according to the official, and the call started 20 minutes late.<\/p>\n The president updated approximately 8,000-10,000 faith leaders on his \u201cmany faith accomplishments\u201d during the call, the official said.<\/p>\n The Hill has reached out to AT&T for comment.<\/p>\n
