President Donald Trump is set to impose trade cuts on several countries to address trade deficits, according to recent statements. The U.S. leader disclosed this intention in discussions with reporters, following the recent diplomatic tensions with Canada that led to significant tariffs and counter-retaliations. Trump emphasized the need for balance, stating his goal is to have surpluses or at least break even in trade with nations.
He reiterated his stance that the U.S. should avoid deficits with other countries, aiming for surplus or neutral trade balances. When asked about his potential support for Vice President JD Vance ahead of the 2028 election, Trump praised Vance as "terrific" but opted not to confirm his endorsement at this stage, citing further time needed to make a decision.
Trump dismissed recent polls on his approval rating as "fake," asserting his genuine support as evident through "only the legitimate pollsters." Additionally, Trump reiterated his call for Irish reunification, advocating for the unification of Northern and Southern Ireland. However, he refrained from commenting on Scotland's potential independence from the United Kingdom, stating he would revisit that topic later.
