<p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday blamed AT&T for technical issues in a conference call he held with American faith leaders and urged the wireless carrier's boss to handle the situation.</p>
<p>The president also said his administration may use another carrier's service in other calls.</p>
<p>"I'm doing a major Conference Call with Faith Leaders from all over the Country, and AT&T is totally unable to make their equipment work properly," Trump wrote on social media about the call on Monday.</p>
<p>"This is the second time it's happened. If the Boss of AT&T, whoever that may be, could get involved — It would be good. There are tens of thousands of people on the line!"</p>
<p>AT&T said on X it had reached out to the White House and was working to "understand and assess the situation." Trump did not elaborate on the specifics of the issue.</p>
<p>In a subsequent post, Trump apologized to faith leaders for what he described as a long wait on the conference call.</p>
<p>"We may have to reschedule the call, but we'll use another carrier the next time," Trump said.</p>
<p>AT&T shares pared gains very briefly after Trump's post then recovered.</p>
<p>During his first White House term, Trump criticized the company, which at the time owned CNN, about the news channel's coverage of his administration.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Trump's family business licensed its name to launch a U.S. mobile service and a $499 smartphone, calling it Trump Mobile, in a deal brokered by the president's children.</p>
