Trump Reaffirms Promise to Enforce Mass Deportation And Abolish Birthright Citizenship

In a recent televised interview, Donald Trump reaffirmed his hard-line campaign roles just weeks ahead of his inauguration, pledging to implement trade tariffs, pursue mass deportations, and hinting at a potential U.S. exit from NATO. This marked Trump’s first formal television appearance since winning the election against Vice President Kamala Harris, airing on NBC’s “Meet the Press with Kristen Welker.” During the interview, which was recorded prior to Trump’s meetings with French and Ukrainian leaders over the weekend, he indicated a likelihood of reducing U.S. support for Ukraine amidst its ongoing conflict with Russia. He mentioned plans to swiftly review potential pardons for those jailed for their involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot following his 2020 electoral defeat.
Trump expressed his disdain for NATO, emphasizing that the U.S. may withdraw if allies do not contribute their fair share to mutual defense. “If they’re paying their bills, and if I think they’re treating us fairly, the answer is absolutely I’d stay with NATO,” he stated, noting, however, that a departure remains a real possibility.
Reiterating his commitment to implementing hefty tariffs on key trading partners including Canada, Mexico, and China, Trump claimed that the U.S. is subsidizing these nations and that tariffs could be employed not only for economic reasons but also to achieve broader objectives. While he acknowledged that such tariffs could lead to increased prices in the U.S., he offered no guarantees regarding their economic impact.
