Donald Trump has once again threatened to end the right to birthright citizenship since “day one” of his presidency, although to do so I would have to change one of the amendments to the Constitution.
In an interview with NBC News, Trump said again that he plans to end that right of citizenship on the first day and about the 14th amendment that enshrines that right He assured: “we are going to have to change it. We are going to have to go back to the people and we have to finish it (the amendment). We are the only country that has it.”
The “dreamers” will be able to stay in the US
In the interview, Trump also said that wants the “dreamers”mostly Latino beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to the United States, can stay in the country.
In his first television interview after his victory in the November 5 elections, the Republican magnate said that His “plan” is to work with Democrats to make this possible.
“Some of them are no longer young. And in many cases, they have been successful. They have good jobs. In some cases they have small businesses. In other cases, they may have large companies. And we are going to have to do something with them,” he noted. the Republican on the “Meet the Press” program, which was pre-recorded and aired today.
Possible departure of the United States from NATO
Trump also raised the possibility of the United States leaving NATO if member countries “don’t pay their bills.”
“If they are paying their bills, and if I think they are treating us fairly, the answer is: absolutely, I would stay with NATO,” he said in his first television interview after his victory in the November 5 elections, but He specified that otherwise he would consider for his country to withdraw.
Trump noted on “Meet the Press,” which was pre-recorded and broadcast this Sundaythat NATO “takes advantage” of the United States, a message that he reiterated on several occasions already in his first term (2017-2021), a period in which he had a tense relationship with the organization.
The Republican stated that NATO “takes advantage” of the US in contributions to the Alliance, despite the fact that his country is the one that defends it, while Europe does not give it fair trade treatment, in his opinion.
“I got hundreds of billions of dollars into NATO simply by being tough. I told countries: ‘I’m not going to protect you unless you pay’ and they began to pay. And that amounted to more than 600,000 million dollars,” added the magnate, referring to his first term.
NATO, created after World War II and during the Cold War, committed in 2014 to having its members spend at least 2 percent of GDP on defense, something Trump has pushed to achieve, although he has also considered that the ideal percentage should be 4%.
He promises to pardon the Capitol attackers
Trump has promised that will begin to pardon imprisoned people for storming the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to protest against the result of the presidential elections that resulted in the defeat of the New York magnate.
The president-elect of the United States has actively and passively denied that incited protesters to storm the headquarters of Congress United States. More than 900 participants in the assault pleaded guilty to different crimes to have their sentences reduced during the proceedings opened against them.
One of the arguments that the detainees have repeated most in those discreet hearings is that were instigated to act to stop the confirmation of Joe Biden’s victory by the former US president, who already during the campaign insisted that he would be a victim of electoral fraud. Some baseless accusations that he continued to make, and still drop, after losing narrowly.
