Abortion, immigration, diplomacy… Donald Trump outlined the outlines of the program for his potential second term, in a long article published Tuesday April 30 by the American weekly Time. The former Republican president, candidate in the November election against Joe Biden, was questioned during two interviews, one in person and the other by telephone, about his plans in the event of victory in November.
The 77-year-old tycoon, currently on trial in New York after one of the many investigations opened against him, kicked in when the journalist asked him if he would veto a federal law very severely restricting the right to ‘Abortion. “I don’t have to veto, because now everything has come back to the States”he said, in reference to a 2022 Supreme Court decision, which ended federal protection of the right to abortion and returned this jurisdiction to the states.
Mass expulsions and possible use of the army
Donald Trump also stated that he would leave the field open to states that wanted to prosecute women who had abortions after the deadline. “I don’t have to be comfortable or not comfortable.” with this perspective, replied the Republican candidate. On immigration, another central subject in view of the election, he assured that he would carry out mass expulsions. If ever the National Guard, that is to say the army corps reporting to the States, was not enough to compensate for his ambitions, he said he was ready to resort to the army.
On the economy, Donald Trump revealed that he is considering customs duties of “more than 10%” on all imports. The former president was also asked to clarify his position regarding aid to Ukraine: “I will not give [pas plus d’assistance] if Europe does not start doing as much” than the United States, he said.
