In an interview with NBC News, President-elect Donald Trump detailed several measures for his return to the White House on January 20.
In an interview broadcast this Sunday by NBC News, Donald Trump clarified the contours of his next mandate upon his arrival at the White House on January 20. The 47th President of the United States initially threatened that the United States would leave the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) if the Allies did not meet their financial obligations. A significant risk for this military alliance, created in 1949, which would then lose the weight of the world's leading military power.
“If they pay their bills and treat us fairly, the answer is absolutely, I will stay in NATO,” declared the future American president. During a meeting in the state of South Carolina, Donald Trump had already explained that in the event of re-election, he would no longer guarantee NATO protection against Russia.
Still on the foreign policy front, he said Ukraine should “probably” expect less aid from the United States when it returns to power. Please note that this interview was recorded before his meeting this Saturday in Paris with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
EXPULSION OF IMMIGRANTS AND REPEAL OF LAND LAW
While he made immigration one of the central themes of his campaign, the 78-year-old billionaire once again reaffirmed his intention to expel all illegal immigrants from the United States, while recognizing that the task will be arduous “I think we have to do it, and it's hard, it's a very complicated thing to do.”
On his first day in office, Donald Trump plans to repeal soil law. This principle, enshrined in the Constitution, allows anyone born on American territory to become a citizen. “ If someone sets foot, just one foot (…) on our territory: Congratulations, you are now a citizen of the United States of America,” he declared, believing that this right was “ridiculous »
CUSTOMS DUTIES
Although Donald Trump acknowledged that this approach could lead to higher prices for American consumers, he maintained his unwavering support for this strategy. “Customs duties cost the Americans nothing,” he replied, emphasizing that the objective is to protect the country's economic interests.
For Trump, customs duties remain an essential lever to guarantee a fairer and more balanced economy vis-à-vis the United States' trading partners.
