President Donald Trump did not rule out seeking a third term for president when asked by NBC on Sunday, saying, “There are methods which you could do it."
“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said Sunday. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”
Meanwhile, tariffs on imported autos are to go into effect on Wednesday. While economist predict Trump's tariffs will raise prices in the U.S., his tariffs czar, Peter Navarro, predicted they would result in tax cuts: "Tariffs are tax cuts, tariffs are jobs, tariffs are national security, tariffs are great for America," Navarro told Fox News.
Trump told NBC News in an early Sunday morning call that he's "very angry" and "pissed off" at Russian President Vladimir Putin for criticizing the credibility of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s leadership.
Trump said that if he and Putin cannot come to an agreement on ending the war in Ukraine, he will put secondary tariffs on all oil coming out of Russia. Trump also added that “there will be a 25% tariff on all oil."

Trump says he 'couldn't care less' if automakers raise prices
In a wide-ranging interview with NBC News, President Donald Trump reportedly said he "couldn’t care less" if some automakers raise prices for consumers because of his sweeping auto tariffs that will take effect next week – and he again stood by national security adviser Mike Waltz despite the Signal group chat fiasco.
Regarding the tariffs that are set to take effect next week on imported vehicles, Trump said he didn't warn the CEOs of auto companies not to raise prices in the wake of his tariffs.

"No, I never said that," he told NBC's Kristen Welker. "I couldn't care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American-made cars."
In the wake of the Signal messaging app leak, Trump said he still has confidence in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.
"I don't fire people because of fake news and because of witch hunts," Trump said.
Regarding Vice President JD Vance's recent visit to Greenland -- amid Trump's repeated suggestions the U.S. should take over the island nation for national security purposes -- Trump said "there's a good possibility" the U.S. could strike a deal.
"I never take military force off the table," he said. "But I think there's a good possibility that we could do it without military force."
