Trump criticizes the press and abandons interview with US broadcaster
US President Donald Trump abruptly abandoned an interview shown on Sunday (7) on NBC on the program "Meet the Press".
Before the end, he also directed personal insults at the channel's interviewer, Kristen Welker. The Republican became angry when confronted by the reporter after saying that there was evidence that the 2020 elections, which he lost to Joe Biden, were rigged.
Welker insisted that such evidence did not exist.
"Your elections are fraudulent, you are a fraud and 'Meet the Press' is also a fraud," Trump said, irritated. "Just like ABC and CBS and CNN," he added, citing other networks he considers to be opponents of his government.
"You [NBC] are a biased and unfair network. Sorry. Let's stop here, because that's enough. Thank you, honey. Have fun," Trump said, as he stood up.
He ended the interview abruptly after becoming frustrated with Kristen Welker's insistence.
Trump was defending plans for a fund $1.8 billion, now discarded, that would have compensated allies of the Republican president, and reiterated his unfounded allegations of massive fraud in the long counting of votes in the last primary elections in the state of California.
According to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the fund would create a legal process so that people who allege they have been politically persecuted can submit requests for financial compensation.
According to analysts, many of the beneficiaries would be his supporters who stormed Congress on January 6, 2001 after a rally in Washington, in which he reiterated lies about fraud at the polls.

'No more wars'
In the same interview, Trump stated that he "did not guarantee" that there would be no there would be wars if he returned to office.
"First of all, I did not guarantee that there would be no wars. Why would I build the most powerful army in the world?", questioned Trump.
Several times in his 2024 presidential campaign, however, he reaffirmed that "there would be no more wars" and used the phrase as a campaign slogan ("no more wars", in the original English).
