Trump's upcoming presidency is poised to redefine immigration policies, with plans to eliminate birthright citizenship and review pardons for Capitol rioters. During an interview with NBC's Meet the Press, Trump emphasized his commitment to significant changes starting from his first day in office in January. Central to his agenda is an effort to revoke the automatic citizenship granted to individuals born on U.S. soil, a move that would likely encounter robust legal challenges due to its constitutional foundations.

In an exclusive NBC interview, President-elect Trump outlines his bold plans for executive orders on key issues like immigration and the economy.
In addition, Trump voiced intentions to pardon participants in the January 2021 Capitol riot and reiterated plans for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, although he expressed willingness to work with Democrats regarding those who entered the U.S. as children. The president-elect's approach continues to echo themes from his prior presidency while also promising a variety of executive orders on issues including the economy and energy policies.
Trump further commented on NATO commitments contingent on fair financial contributions, and while he suggested previously unconfirmed stances on abortion restrictions, he committed to not increasing the eligibility age for Social Security. Amidst discussions of tariffs and healthcare, the ex-president’s mixed messages on political retribution towards adversaries raised eyebrows, although he stated he’s focused on future successes rather than looking back.
As critics, including former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, challenged his assertions, the political landscape remains charged as Trump prepares to re-enter the Oval Office amid a tumultuous backdrop of ongoing investigations against him and his political rivals.
