President Trump refused to say explicitly that he would not stay in his post on January 20, 2029, he told the correspondents: “We have a long way to cut it before we can think about it.”
Trump’s comments to journalists in the first air force came, as he returned to Washington from Florida, where he spent the weekend.
Trump has been repeatedly asked about his statements earlier in the day to NBC News, which was quoted as saying that he was “not joking” about a third term in his post. He told reporters on Sunday night: “I do not look at that, but I will tell you that I have more people asking me to get a third state.”
The constitution clarifies a period for the president.
When you press it later, Trump said: “I don’t want to talk about a third state now because regardless of how you look, we have a long time to go. We have nearly four years to go. This is a long time.”
Trump told NBC News that “there are ways” that allow him to present a third term in his post.
NBC News also reported that Trump said he was “angry” in Vladimir Putin to obtain the recent comments of Russian President on the leadership of Ukrainian President Voludmir Zelinsky. Trump said he was planning “secondary sanctions on Russia” if they did not cooperate with the suggestion of the ceasefire, which was a means of American mediation, and the two countries agreed this week last week.
He later told reporters: “We are achieving a lot of progress in Ukraine and Russia.” When asked if Putin was an obstacle to the deal, Trump said: “If I thought they were taking advantage of this, I will not be happy with that.”
The invitation with NBC News’ Kirsten Welker Sunday was the second in two days. Initially, Trump talked about the impact of American definitions and policy towards Iran. While parts of the text were released, the sound was not shared from the interview.
“I am not joking”
Trump, 78, said in the interview he was serious about requesting a third term in office.
“Many people want me to do it,” Trump said, according to NBC News. “But we have – my thinking is, we have a long way to cut it. I focus on the current.”
When asked about specific plans to search for a third term, Trump confirmed one way – Vice President JD Vance wins the White House in future elections and then handed over the presidency. Trump said there are other plans, but he refused to say what they are.
As is the case with the twenty -second amendment to the constitution prohibits anyone from electing a president more than twice. Separately, the 12th amendment says: “No person is unconstitutional for the president’s office qualified for the Vice President of the United States.”
Changing the constitution requires two-thirds vote in Congress or a constitutional conference-which 34 countries need to request. Looking at a dead end of Congress – not to mention how the country is politically divided – the probability of this seems minimal.
Trump did not mention the constitution while calling for NBC news, but he repeatedly indicated his popularity.
“Many people want to do so,” Trump said of a third presidential tour, according to NBC News. “However, I mean, tell them mainly, we have a long way, as you know, it’s very early in management.”
Trump’s openness comes to a third term after encouragement from his most enthusiastic allies. Former counselor Steve Bannon, who is now a host of podcasts, has already created Trump in the 2028 campaign. In Congress, Representative Andy Eugelis, RR Tin. , The proposal amendment The twenty -second amendment to clarify the road to the third separation of Trump just days after his second inauguration.
When asked if he was joking about another presidential tour, Trump said, “No, no, I am not joking,” according to NBC News.

“Very angry” with Putin
Trump also said he was “angry” and “very angry” with Putin after the Russian leader wondered about Zelinski’s leadership of Ukraine.
On Friday, Putin called for a “transitional administration” in Ukraine and his forces to “finish” the Ukrainian army, according to the agency’s reports, France.
Trump said that these comments were “not going on” and threatened sanctions against Russia if they did not cooperate in a ceasefire plan.
Trump said on Sunday: “If we and Russia are not able to conclude a deal about stopping bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I believed that this was Russia’s mistake – which may not be – but if I believed that this was Russia’s mistake, I will put a secondary tariff on oil, on all the oil that comes out of Russia,” according to the NBC News.
“This will be that if you bought oil from Russia, you cannot do business in the United States,” Trump explained. “There will be a 25 % tariff for all oil, which is a tariff of 25 to 50 points on all oil.”
Trump said he had spoken to Putin “not long ago” and confirmed that the Russian president knows his feelings.
Trump said of Putin: “Angry, but you have a very good relationship with him,” Trump said.
Trump said he was planning to speak with Putin this week.
Last week, Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire in part and initially in the Black Sea region. The deal came after a three -day meeting in Riyadh. Since the deal, Moscow and Kiev accused each other of violating the agreement while continuing attacks on each other elsewhere. Trump promised a quick end to fight between Russian and Ukraine during the campaign.
