And he is entitled to have that apology. Now, the billion dollar lawsuit &#8211; we know Trump. He loves a sort of headline, and he&#8217;s a businessman. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;If the BBC said, &#8216;look, we absolutely got this wrong. We really do apologise. But you&#8217;ve got to understand that this is not our money. It&#8217;s paid for by the British taxpayer&#8217; and we would have real problems. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;And if the British government made it clear that they were very sympathetic to the request that Donald Trump should accept the apology&#8230;&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The purchase of gold and investment in bullion is not FCA regulated nor do they benefit from the protections of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme or the Financial Ombudsman Service.
