Trump had previously agreed to appear on ABC News and debate Joe Biden a second time this year before the president ended his re-election campaign, Guardian reported.
In a statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump said the debate would be held on 4 September in Pennsylvania. The former president said that there was a conflict of interest at play after filing a defamation lawsuit against ABC and network host George Stephanopoulos over the anchor’s assertion that Trump had been “found liable for rape” in the E Jean Carroll case.
Trump claims that the ABC News debate scheduled for September 10 was 'terminated' when Biden dropped out of the race.
He also claimed that there's a conflict of interest because he's in litigation against ABC and anchor George Stephanopoulos, who Trump has referred to as 'Slopadopoulos'.
