Two major US broadcasters have confirmed that they will not air President Donald Trump's primetime speech in full.
The US leader will address America at 2am UK time on Friday, July 17.
Both ABC News and NBC News have said they will not air Trump speech live on their broadcasts.
Trump has shared little about his upcoming speech. He has, however, said that his address will contain "really big news" about election security.
The American president told reporters on Tuesday: "It doesn't get bigger, because without free and fair elections, you don't have a country."
It is expected that Trump will speak on his 2020 election defeat to Joe Biden, which he continues to claim was a result of voter fraud.

Senator Mike Rounds: 'Our focus has got to be on winning in 2026'
Some Republicans have shared that Trump's focus on the 2020 elections may not be advantageous ahead of the midterms in November.
"Our focus has got to be on winning in 2026, both the US House and the Senate," Senator Mike Rounds told The Hill.
"I am more interested in looking about four months ahead to the 2026 elections, rather than looking six years back to the 2020 election."
Democrats are favoured to take control of the House.
The Senate is often seen as a long shot for Democrats to flip. However, it seems possible in the upcoming vote.
Polls have shown that issues like affordability and Iran war are weighing heavily on voters' minds.
