Highlights From The Times’s Interview With President Trump


In a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times, President Trump acknowledged that the United States could be entangled with Venezuela for years to come, reveled in the success of the military operation he ordered there, discussed his health and conveyed how emboldened he feels to exercise his power around the globe.

“My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me,” Mr. Trump said during a lengthy conversation with the Times reporters Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Tyler Pager, Katie Rogers and David E. Sanger. The president also answered questions about the Russia-Ukraine war, Greenland and NATO, and reacted to a video of the killing of a U.S. citizen by an ICE agent that happened just hours earlier.
