US President Donald Trump on Thursday praised ABC's decision to pull "Jimmy Kimmel Live" off the air, saying the late-night television host had said "a horrible thing" about assassinated political activist Charlie Kirk and also had bad ratings.

"Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person. He had very bad ratings, and they should have fired him a long time ago. So, you know, you can call that free speech or not. He was fired for lack of talent," Trump said during a news conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in England.
