Donald Trump said he does not know whether people in the United States deserve the due legal process, which is guaranteed by the American constitution, as he criticized the judiciary to thwart his plans to deport uncomfortable immigrants.

Trump made comments in a large -scale interview with NBC broadcast on Sunday, where he renewed his payment to make Canada the 51st American state and insisted that he would not shoot Jay Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve, before the end of his term in 2026.

Trump’s statements about the rule of law in America come at a time when he is facing his push to deport millions of immigrants who are not documented – the cornerstone of his election campaign for the year 2024 – at road barriers in the courts, where individuals challenge their arrests and expel them on the constitutional foundations.

When asked if he agreed that every person in the United States, including citizens and non -citizens, deserve legal procedures, Trump said he was not sure.

“I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer,” Trump told NBC. “We have thousands of people who are … some of the worst people on the ground … and I was elected to remove hell from here and the courts prevent me from doing it.”

When pressing it again if it will support the US constitution as president, Trump replied: “I don’t know. I must respond by saying, again, I have great lawyers working for me, and they will continue clearly what the Supreme Court said.”

Trump was asked again if he was considering asking a third term in his post, something he was repeatedly abandoned but challenged the constitution.

Trump said he was not “looking” at this possibility. “Many people want me to do it. I have never received strong requests like that. But this is, as I know, it is not allowed to do so.”

Trump used the interview to defend his economic policies from criticism indicating that sweeping the customs tariff could rule inflation and growth of growth. This week he blamed the fall gross domestic product On the predecessor Joe Biden.

“I think good parts are Trump’s economy and bad parts are the Biden economy,” Trump said.

He also sought to eliminate fears that he would seek to remove Powell from his position as a chair in the Federal Reserve before the end of his term in 2026. Trump was pushing for the central bank to reduce interest rates, but the federal reserve has kept their stability so far.

“I get a change very quickly anyway. You know,” Trump said. “You know, it is in a very short period of time,” Trump said.

Trump also returned his desire to make Canada the 51st American state, even after that Mark CarneyThe country’s Prime Minister won the elections last week largely by opposing the geopolitical and economic threats of the American president.

Trump’s comments, before Carney’s expected visit to Washington this week, Herald, could be a noisy relationship between the leaders of the neighboring North American countries.

When asked if he would talk to Carney about the inclusion of Canada when they gathered, Trump answered that he will always talk about it. ”

“You know why? We support Canada for $ 200 billion annually. We don’t need anything they have,” Trump said. He added: “If Canada is a country, it will not cost us. That will be great … it will be a dear country.”

Trump said that the United States is unlikely to use the military force to control Canada, but it was more open to this possibility with Greenland, the Arctic Island controlled by Denmark, which was also the subject of the US President’s goals in terms of regional expansion.

“I don’t say I will do it, but I do not rule out anything. No, no, we need Greenland very badly,” Trump said.
