AT&T is experiencing technical difficulties with equipment for a conference call with President Donald Trump, who has expressed frustration with the issue. The President stated that tens of thousands of people are on the line and requested the involvement of AT&T's CEO to resolve the problem.
On Monday afternoon, US President Donald Trump took to social media to express frustration with AT&T's technical difficulties during a conference call with faith leaders from across the country. The call, which was supposed to be a significant event with thousands of participants, was disrupted by technical issues that Trump attributed to AT&T's equipment.In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump wrote, "I'm 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. 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!" [1]
AT&T responded promptly, stating that it had reached out to the White House to assess the situation and was working to resolve the issue. The company later attributed the delay to a fault in the conference call platform, not the network itself [2].
The incident comes at a time when AT&T has been under scrutiny for service disruptions. Earlier this year, the company announced plans to credit customers for internet outages and long wait times in an effort to address these issues [3].
Trump's frustration with AT&T's performance may have implications for the company's future contracts with the White House. Since the start of the contract in fiscal 2020, AT&T has earned $1.7 million in obligations under the agreement [4].
