The parent company of US media outlet CBS News has agreed to pay 16 million dollars to settle a lawsuit filed by US President Donald Trump.



Trump sued Paramount Global, alleging that CBS News deceptively edited an interview with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris to her advantage. The interview was aired in October last year before the presidential election.



CBS News says the parent company and Trump reached a settlement agreement on Tuesday. It did not include an apology.



Trump's legal team welcomed the move, saying on Wednesday that the president "delivers another win for the American people as he, once again, holds the Fake News media accountable for their wrongdoing and deceit."



Paramount Global insisted that the interview with Harris followed a standard editing process. The company also said it settled the lawsuit to avoid high legal costs and the risk of confusion.



Experts are voicing concerns that the decision could become a dangerous precedent that could put press freedom at risk.
