In a recent interview, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump reiterated his commitment to deporting all undocumented immigrants and ending birthright citizenship. Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, moderated by Kristen Welker, Trump emphasized key policies from his campaign platform, signaling a tough stance as he prepares for his second term.
The interview, his first network appearance since defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, provided insight into his governance plans. Trump confirmed his intention to end birthright citizenship, describing it as “ridiculous” and suggesting he might achieve this through executive action or a constitutional amendment. “We have to end it,” he stated firmly.
Other topics addressed included potential tariffs, combating inflation, and mass deportations. Trump also raised the possibility of the United States withdrawing from NATO if member nations fail to meet financial obligations. “They have to pay their bills,” he declared, emphasizing his readiness to take action if allies do not “treat us fairly.”
Trump’s statements reflect the uncompromising positions he has championed since winning a second non-consecutive term as President of the United States.
