Ahead of his second go-around in the White House, President Donald Trump spoke with certainty about ending Russia's war in Ukraine in the first 24 hours of his new administration and finding lasting peace from the devastating 18-month conflict in Gaza. But as the Republican president nears the 100th day of his second term, he's struggling to make good on two of his biggest foreign policy campaign promises and is not taking well to suggestions that he's falling short. And after criticising President Joe Biden during last year's campaign for preventing Israel from carrying out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, Trump now finds himself giving diplomacy a chance as he tries to curb Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear programme. The war has been raging for three years. I just got here, and you say, 'What's taken so long?' Trump bristled, when asked about the Ukraine war in a Time magazine interview about his first 100 days. As for the Gaza conflict, he insisted the October 7 attack by Hama
President Donald Trump has said that he is being "inundated" with requests to seek a third term. However, he insisted there are some loopholes to the constitutional bar preventing presidents from seeking a third term. During a recent interview with Time magazine, Trump was asked about saying he was not joking about seeking a third term previously. He responded, There are some loopholes. But, he added, I don't believe in using loopholes. The 22nd Amendment states, No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. A possible way around that would be for Vice President JD Vance to be elected president in 2028, then step aside in favour of Trump. Trump said he didn't know anything about that possibility, but also noted, I am being inundated with requests.
Time magazine gave Donald Trump something it has never done for a Person of the Year designee: a lengthy fact-check of claims he made in an accompanying interview. The fact-check accompanies a transcript of what the president-elect told the newsmagazine's journalists. Described as a 12 minute read, it calls into question 15 separate statements that Trump made. It was the second time Trump earned the Time accolade; he also won in 2016, the first year he was elected president. Time editors said it wasn't a particularly hard choice over other finalists Kamala Harris, Elon Musk, Benjamin Netanyahu and Kate Middleton. Time said Friday that no other Person of the Year has been fact-checked in the near-century that the magazine has annually written about the figure that has had the greatest impact on the news. But it has done the same for past interviews with the likes of Joe Biden, Netanyahu and Trump. Such corrections have been a sticking point for Trump and his team in the past, most .
President-elect Donald Trump rang the opening bell Thursday at the New York Stock Exchange after being recognised for the second time by Time magazine as its person of the year. The honours for the businessman-turned-politician are a measure of Trump's remarkable comeback from an ostracised former president who refused to accept his election loss four years ago to a president-elect who won the White House decisively in November. Before he rang the opening bell at 9.30 am, a first for him, Trump spoke at the exchange and called it a tremendous honour. Time Magazine, getting this honour for the second time, I think I like it better this time actually, he said. Trump, accompanied by his wife, Melania Trump, daughters Ivanka and Tiffany and Vice President-elect JD Vance, grinned as people chanted USA before he rang the bell. He then raised his fist. In his remarks, he talked up some of the people he has named to his incoming administration, including Treasury pick Scott Bessent, and s
