WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump, in a new interview, was circumspect about his duties to uphold due process rights laid out in the Constitution.
He also said he does not think military force will be needed to make Canada the “51st state” and played down the possibility he would look to run for a third term in the White House.
The comments in a wide-ranging, and at moments combative, interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” came as the Republican president’s efforts to quickly enact his agenda face sharper headwinds with Americans just as his second administration crossed the 100-day mark, according to a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Trump on Meet the Press:
Says he’ll talk 51st State with Mark Carney
Say he won’t need military force to annex CanadaWait a second
I thought Trump respected Canada’s sovereignty?
That’s what Carney told us before the electionGet your popcorn ready.
