Donald Trump said he can't guarantee that his promised tariffs on key U.S. foreign trade partners won't raise prices for American consumers and he suggested once more that some political rivals and federal officials who pursued legal cases against him should be imprisoned.The president-elect, in a wide-ranging interview with NBC's 맥스카지노�Meet the Press맥스카지노� that aired Sunday, also touched on monetary policy, immigration, abortion and health care, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere.Trump often mixed declarative statements with caveats, at one point cautioning 맥스카지노�things do change.맥스카지노�A look at some of the issues covered:Trump hems on whether trade penalties could raise pricesTrump has threatened broad trade penalties, but said he didn맥스카지노�t believe economists' predictions that added costs on those imported goods for American companies would lead to higher prices for U.S. consumers. He stopped short of a pledge that U.S. households won't be paying more as they shop.맥스카지노�I can맥스카지노�t guarantee anything. I can맥스카지노�t guarantee tomorrow,맥스카지노� Trump said, seeming to open the door to accepting the reality of how import levies typically work as goods reach the retail market.That's a different approach from Trump's typical speeches throughout the 2024 campaign, when he framed his election as a sure way to curb inflation.In the interview, Trump defended tariffs generally, saying they are "going to make us rich.맥스카지노�He has pledged that, on his first day in office in January, he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada unless those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States. He also has threatened additional tariffs on China to help force that country to crack down on fentanyl production.맥스카지노�All I want to do is I want to have a level, fast, but fair playing field,맥스카지노� Trump said.Trump suggests retribution for his opponents while claiming no interest in vengeanceHe offered conflicting statements on how he would approach the justice system after winning election despite being convicted of 34 felonies in a New York state court and being indicted in other cases for his handling of national security secrets and efforts to overturn his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden.맥스카지노�Honestly, they should go to jail,맥스카지노� Trump said of members of Congress who investigated the Capitol riot by his supporters who wanted him to remain in power.The president-elect underscored his contention that he can use the justice system against others, including special prosecutor Jack Smith, who led the case on Trump맥스카지노�s role in the siege on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump confirmed his plan to pardon supporters who were convicted for their roles in the riot, saying he would take that action on his first day in office.As for the idea of revenge driving potential prosecutions, Trump said: 맥스카지노�I have the absolute right. I맥스카지노�m the chief law enforcement officer, you do know that. I맥스카지노�m the president. But I맥스카지노�m not interested in that."At the same time, Trump singled out lawmakers on a special House committee who had investigated the insurrection, citing Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.맥스카지노�Cheney was behind it ... so was Bennie Thompson and everybody on that committee,맥스카지노� Trump said.Asked specifically whether he would direct his administration to pursue cases, he said, 맥스카지노�No,맥스카지노� and suggested he did not expect the FBI to quickly undertake investigations into his political enemies.But at another point, Trump said he would leave the matter up to Pam Bondi, his pick as attorney general. 맥스카지노�I want her to do what she wants to do,맥스카지노� he said.Such threats, regardless of Trump's inconsistencies, have been taken seriously enough by many top Democrats that Biden is considering issuing blanket, preemptive pardons to protect key members of his outgoing administration.Trump did seemingly back off his campaign rhetoric calling for Biden to be investigated, saying, 맥스카지노�I맥스카지노�m not looking to go back into the past.맥스카지노�Swift action on immigration is comingTrump repeatedly mentioned his promises to seal the U.S.-Mexico border and deport millions of people who are in the U.S. illegally through a mass deportation program.맥스카지노�I think you have to do it,맥스카지노� he said.He suggested he would try to use executive action to end 맥스카지노�birthright맥스카지노� citizenship under which people born in the U.S. are considered citizens 맥스카지노� although such protections are spelled out in the Constitution.Asked specifically about the future for people who were brought into the country illegally as children and have been shielded from deportation in recent years, Trump said, 맥스카지노�I want to work something out,맥스카지노� indicating he might seek a solution with Congress.But Trump also said he does not 맥스카지노�want to be breaking up families맥스카지노� of mixed legal status, 맥스카지노�so the only way you don맥스카지노�t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.맥스카지노�Trump commits to NATO, with conditions, and waffles on Putin and UkraineLong a critic of NATO members for not spending more on their own defense, Trump said he 맥스카지노�absolutely맥스카지노� would remain in the alliance 맥스카지노�if they pay their bills.맥스카지노�Pressed on whether he would withdraw if he were dissatisfied with allies맥스카지노� commitments, Trump said he wants the U.S. treated 맥스카지노�fairly맥스카지노� on trade and defense.He waffled on a NATO priority of containing Russia and President Vladimir Putin.Trump suggested Ukraine should prepare for less U.S. aid in its defense against Putin맥스카지노�s invasion. 맥스카지노�Possibly. Yeah, probably. Sure,맥스카지노� Trump said of reducing Ukraine assistance from Washington. Separately, Trump has called for an immediate ceasefire.Asked about Putin, Trump said initially that he has not talked to the Russian leader since Election Day last month, but then hedged: 맥스카지노�I haven맥스카지노�t spoken to him recently.맥스카지노� Trump said when pressed, adding that he did not want to 맥스카지노�impede the negotiation.맥스카지노�Trump says Powell is safe at the Fed, but not Wray at the FBIThe president-elect said he has no intention, at least for now, of asking Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to step down before Powell's term ends in 2028. Trump said during the campaign that presidents should have more say in Fed policy, including interest rates.Trump did not offer any job assurances for FBI Director Christopher Wray, whose term is to end in 2027.Asked about Wray, Trump said: 맥스카지노�Well, I mean, it would sort of seem pretty obvious맥스카지노� that if the Senate confirms Kash Patel as his pick for FBI chief, then 맥스카지노�he맥스카지노�s going to be taking somebody맥스카지노�s place, right? Somebody is the man that you맥스카지노�re talking about.맥스카지노�Trump is absolute about Social Security, not so much on abortion and health insuranceTrump promised that the government efficiency effort led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will not threaten Social Security. 맥스카지노�We're not touching Social Security, other than we make it more efficient,맥스카지노� he said. He added that 맥스카지노�we're not raising ages or any of that stuff.맥스카지노�He was not so specific about abortion or his long-promised overhaul of the Affordable Care Act.On abortion, Trump continued his inconsistencies and said he would 맥스카지노�probably맥스카지노� not move to restrict access to the abortion pills that now account for a majority of pregnancy terminations, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. But pressed on whether he would commit to that position, Trump replied, 맥스카지노�Well, I commit. I mean, are -- things do -- things change. I think they change.맥스카지노�Reprising a line from his Sept. 10 debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump again said he had 맥스카지노�concepts맥스카지노� of a plan to substitute for the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which he called 맥스카지노�lousy health care.맥스카지노�He added a promise that any Trump version would maintain insurance protections for Americans with preexisting health conditions. He did not explain how such a design would be different from the status quo or how he could deliver on his desire for 맥스카지노�better health care for less money.맥스카지노�___Barrow reported from Atlanta.
