The Republican US presidential candidate, Donald Trump, has withdrawn from a television interview on a US channel, CBS.
The former president’s campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, disclosed this on X on Wednesday.
Cheung who denied Trump’s consent to participate in the interview, wrote on X: “There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in.”
Harris and Trump are contesting in the US presidential election on November 5.
Following a televised debate hosted by the US channel ABC on September 10, Harris called for a second debate, while Trump said he did not intend to participate in further debates.
However, the programme, “60 Minutes” said the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris would appear as planned in Monday’s broadcast and that the original invitation to Trump stands.
The programme added that it had been having interviews with presidential candidates for over 50 years.
However, Cheung said that CBS had insisted on live fact-checking for this year’s programme, which is “unprecedented.”
