In an Oval Office sit-down with ABC News anchor and Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran, Trump highlighted his administration's immigration policies and sought to reassure anxious Americans on the economy. He acknowledged that Russian President Vladimir Putin might be "tapping" him along in Ukraine peace talks and repeatedly criticized his predecessor, Joe Biden.
And he delivered positive remarks about some of his administration's officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and billionaire Elon Musk, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency.
Here are more headlines from ABC News' exclusive sit-down with Trump.
'They did sign up for it'
Asked by ABC News' Moran for a message to voters who may feel some anxiety at the prospect of higher costs from tariffs, Trump claimed that he has delivered on his signature campaign pledge to lower prices on his first day in the White House.
"There is a lot of concern out there," Moran said. "People are worried, even some people who voted for you sayin', 'I didn't sign up for this.' So how do you answer those concerns?"
Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on," Trump replied. "I said that we've been abused by other countries at levels that nobody's ever seen before … I could've left it that way, and at some point, there would've been an implosion like nobody's ever seen. But I said, 'No, we have to fix it.' I've -- I've wanted to do this for many years."
Trump claimed credit for what he said were lower prices for gasoline and groceries, pointing specifically to eggs, which emerged as a major issue during the 2024 campaign.
