President-Elect Trump To Hold His First Interview

President-elect Donald Trump is set to appear in a highly anticipated interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker on Meet the Press this Sunday, marking his first major network interview since winning the 2024 election. The interview will air at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time, with preview highlights released prior to the full broadcast. The entire conversation will also be available online after the show airs.

This sit-down with Welker is particularly notable as it comes shortly after Trump announced key appointments to his Cabinet. While many of these selections are facing pushback from Senate Democrats, Trump has made it clear he is ready to push forward with his agenda. In addition, he has outlined several bold moves for his first day in office, including a promise to sign an executive order imposing a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico and even higher tariffs on China. These moves are part of his broader plan to prioritize American workers and protect U.S. industries from unfair foreign competition.

Trump’s interview with Welker also follows a previous conversation in September 2023, during which they discussed topics such as immigration reform and the vision for a second Trump term. That interview marked his only major network sit-down during the 2024 campaign season.

Kristen Welker, a seasoned journalist who served as a White House correspondent for NBC, took over as the anchor of Meet the Press in September 2023, succeeding Chuck Todd. Known for her direct questioning, Welker is expected to press Trump on key issues and provide insight into his plans for the next four years.

For conservatives, this interview is an opportunity to hear directly from the President-elect on his priorities and the future direction of America under his leadership. With bold plans ahead, Trump’s appearance on Meet the Press will undoubtedly set the tone for his first term.
