Donald Trump talks about a third term and may impose new tariffs

US President Donald Trump has not ruled out the possibility of being re-elected for a third term. In an interview with NBC on March 30, he said that "a lot of people want it" and that "there are ways" to make it happen. "But we have a long way to go. I'm focused on the present moment," he added. However, the channel did not publish the full transcript of the interview, providing only excerpts from the transcript.

Trump declined to answer the question about what specific mechanisms he might use to stay in power. However, he did not reject the version proposed by the journalist. According to him, US Vice President J.D. Vance may win the election in 2028 and then hand over this position to Trump.

New tariffs may be imposed

Also, the Trump administration is considering the possibility of imposing tariffs on copper imports in the coming weeks. Bloomberg reported this, citing sources.

"The administration (Trump administration) is conducting an expedited review and a decision could be made well before the 270-day deadline," the agency's sources said.

As Bloomberg noted, in February, US President Trump instructed the Commerce Department to study the possibility of imposing tariffs on copper imports and prepare a report within 270 days.

Restrictions on Venezuelan oil

On March 24, Trump announced that the US would impose 25 percent import tariffs on countries that buy oil or gas from Venezuela starting April 2. He called these measures "second-tier tariffs." According to Trump, these restrictions are related to Venezuela's sending of criminals and members of international organized crime groups to the United States.

Tariffs on steel and aluminum

On March 17, Trump announced that the United States would impose tariffs on steel and aluminum, without exceptions, starting April 2. According to him, these tariffs will be equal to import duties imposed by other countries on American goods.

These measures are explained by the fact that they are aimed at tightening the economic policy of the Trump administration. His critics, however, consider these actions to be protectionist in nature. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
