President Trump has placed the blame for the ongoing government shutdown squarely at the feet of Democrats, stating that his plan to end it is simply to "keep voting" - a clear message that he expects Republicans to work together to pass a spending bill to reopen the government. 
The President also made headlines with his comments on his recent strike against alleged drug trafficking boats, which he claimed were targeting Americans at sea. However, human rights groups have criticized these actions as reckless and illegal.
On trade relations with China, Trump struck a one-year deal that averts escalating tensions between the two economic superpowers in exchange for lower tariffs and promises of valuable rare earth minerals from China to the US.
He also expressed frustration over Democratic opposition to his policies, including claims that Democrats are "crazed lunatics" who have "lost their way."
Regarding ICE raids, Trump claimed they haven't gone far enough and acknowledged their impact on communities. However, human rights groups have documented numerous cases of innocent people being caught up in these raids.
In response to criticism over the use of tear gas and other tactics during immigration enforcement, Trump said he's "OK" with them because you "have to get the people out."
Regarding nuclear testing, the President made a surprise move last week directing the Pentagon to resume testing of nuclear weapons on an equal basis with other countries. This move comes amidst heightened tensions between the US and Russia.
The President also fielded questions about his possible run for re-election in 2028, stating that he's not thinking about it but acknowledging there's "a lot" of interest among Republican voters.
In the final hours of the interview, Trump pardoned billionaire Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance cryptocurrency exchange.
