NBC's Meet the Press, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump shared significant policy plans for his upcoming term, providing insight into his priorities. The wide-ranging conversation touched on immigration, foreign policy, social security, and tax reforms, among other issues. Trump’s remarks signal the ambitious and often controversial changes he intends to pursue from day one in office.

Trump continued to emphasise his hardline stance on immigration, reiterating his plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants over his four-year term. «We’re starting with the criminals, and we’ve got to do it,» Trump stated. He noted that the logistics of such a large-scale operation would be difficult, but insisted on its necessity, calling it “the only choice” for America. He also acknowledged that American citizens may face deportation if they have family members who are undocumented. “The only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back,” he said.
On the issue of birthright citizenship, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the U.S., Trump proposed ending the policy, a move he said he would tackle on his first day in office. «We have to end it,» Trump said. “We’ll maybe have to go back to the people, but we have to end it.” He suggested that a constitutional amendment might be necessary, reflecting his determination to reshape the nation’s immigration laws.
