Takeaways from Trump’s statement: He cannot guarantee that tariffs will not increase prices.


President-elect Donald Trump admitted in a new interview that he cannot guarantee that American families will not end up paying more due to tariffs imposed on the country’s top trading partners, something that was a key campaign promise for him. Although he disagrees with economists who say that consumers bear the cost of tariffs, Trump said he cannot promise anything regarding potential financial impacts on families. Additionally, Trump confirmed his intent to begin pardoning rioters from the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol on his first day back in office. He plans to look at individual cases and grant pardons to those charged in connection with the attack. Furthermore, Trump reiterated his plan to deport all individuals in the country illegally, not just those who have committed serious crimes. He also expressed his intention to ban birthright citizenship and emphasized the need to change the Constitution to achieve this. Additionally, Trump discussed his views on NATO, indicating that the U.S. may leave the coalition if member countries do not meet their defense-spending obligations. Lastly, Trump addressed the appointment of Pete Hegseth as Pentagon chief, stating that he still has confidence in him despite allegations of sexual assault and drinking on the job. The Senate’s support for Hegseth’s nomination remains uncertain.
