"A lot of people want me to do it," Trump told NBC on Sunday.
President Donald Trump did not rule out seeking a third term for president when asked by NBC on Sunday, saying, “There are methods which you could do it."
“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said Sunday. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”
Meanwhile, tariffs on imported autos are to go into effect on Wednesday. While economist predict Trump's tariffs will raise prices in the U.S., his tariffs czar, Peter Navarro, predicted they would result in tax cuts: "Tariffs are tax cuts, tariffs are jobs, tariffs are national security, tariffs are great for America," Navarro told Fox News.
The president was asked about his pardon of Trevor Milton, who was convicted in 2022 of fraud, and claimed without any details that he was being targeted for supporting him.
"They went after this man. And when I heard about it, I said, nope, not going to happen," he said.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney informed President Donald Trump on Friday that his government will impose retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. on April 2, when the Trump administration is set to implement a fresh round of sweeping levies.
Trump had said on Thursday that he'd fire back with large-scale tariffs "far larger than currently planned" if Canada teamed up with the European Union to push back against his tariffs.
Asked on Friday by ABC News Senior Political Correspondent Rachel Scott if he would follow through on that promise, Trump said: "Absolutely."
Trump went on to call his conversation with Carney earlier Friday "very, very good" and said, despite current tensions due to his administration trade war, the U.S. is "going to end up with a very good relationship with Canada and most countries."
President Donald Trump was asked about his decision to pull Rep. Elise Stefanik from her nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the U.N. and reiterated that he did not want to take any chances with the Republicans' slim lead in the House.
He thanked Stefanik for her service and interest in the position but added that she was "doing me a big favor."
President Donald Trump has called on the House to take up the Washington, D.C., funding fix in a Truth Social post and "get it done IMMEDIATELY."
"We need to clean up our once beautiful Capital City, and make it beautiful again. We will be TOUGH ON CRIME, like never before," Trump said in the post.
Earlier this month, the Senate passed a bill that restored nearly $1 billion in budget cuts that threatened D.C. that were part of the government funding bill at the time. That bill now is up to the House to be passed.
Trump added that if it doesn't happen, the president will "have no choice but to do it" himself.
