In an interview, newly elected President Donald Trump has promised to end the process of granting automatic birthright citizenship in the United States. He also mentioned that, upon taking office, he would consider pardoning those involved in the US Capitol riot of 2021.

In his interview on NBC's Meet the Press after his victory in the November election, Trump stated, "These people (those involved in the riot) are living in hell." In the interview, he revealed that after taking office on January 20, he would issue several executive orders related to immigration, energy, and the economy. On January 6, 2021, following his loss in the 2020 presidential election, supporters of Trump attacked the Capitol building. When asked if he would pardon those convicted for their role in the riot, Trump responded, "After taking office next month, I will look into pardoning those involved in the Capitol Hill riot. We will review each case individually, and I will act swiftly."

Regarding birthright citizenship, Trump confirmed that he intends to end the policy through an executive order. Under the current law, any child born in the United States, even to foreign-born parents, automatically receives US citizenship. This provision stems from the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, which states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States... are citizens of the United States." Trump expressed his desire to change this rule.

True to his campaign promises, Trump also mentioned that he plans to deport undocumented immigrants, even if they have family members who are US citizens. He stated, "I don’t want to separate families. The only way to keep the family together is to send them all back together."

Additionally, Trump indicated that, once back in the White House, he would likely reduce aid to Ukraine. He also clarified that he would not impose a ban on abortion pills, although he mentioned that decisions would depend on the circumstances.
