President-elect Donald Trump, in his first network interview since winning the election, doubled down on tariffs in his first days in office and minimized his previous emphasis on retaliation against his perceived enemies.

Trump continued speaking NBC News’ Meet the press with Kristen Welker about his vows to implement his key campaign promises – deporting everyone in the U.S. illegally, pardoning the January 6 rioters and extending significant tax cuts.

Trump also promised not to restrict access to abortion pills and hopes to find a legislative solution that keeps Dreamers in the country legally. Dreamers are undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children and have legal status due to an executive action by former President Barack Obama.

Asked whether he would take action against President Joe Biden after the Jan. 20 inauguration, Trump said he would not focus on the “past.”

“Retribution will come through success,” Trump told Welker. “I’m trying to lower the prices. Because…I won on the border, and I won on food.”

Trump had previously threatened to investigate, prosecute, imprison or otherwise punish his perceived enemies, including Biden.

The President-Elect continued its plans to impose high tariffs on the country’s major trading partners such as Mexico, Canada and China. Asked whether this would raise prices for consumers, as many economists have warned, Trump said: “I can’t guarantee anything. I can’t guarantee tomorrow.”

When Welker continued to press that his first administration’s tariffs cost Americans $80 billion, the president-elect demurred, saying tariffs “cost Americans nothing” and could even be a tool of diplomacy.

“I stopped wars with tariffs by saying, ‘You want to fight, that’s great. But you will both pay 100% tariffs to the United States,’” Trump said, without providing evidence that he has stopped wars.

Spending cuts, immigration

Trump has often pointed to tariffs as a source of revenue for the federal government to offset losses from his first-term tax cuts. He has also promised to drastically cut federal spending through the Department of Government Efficiency – an outside group led by tech billionaire Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Trump said Social Security and Medicare are not at stake.

“I’ve told people we’re not touching Social Security except making it more efficient,” Trump said. “But people will get what they get.”

On health care, Trump offered no clear path forward. During his first presidency, Trump attempted to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act in the first months of his term.

Asked if he would do the same this time, Trump said: “Obamacare stinks. If we come up with a better answer, I would present that answer to Democrats and everyone else and do something about it.”

Immigration remains Trump’s top priority. During the NBC interview, he maintained his plans to carry out mass deportations of people living in the United States illegally. Trump said he would start with convicted criminals, but he would go beyond that group.

“Well, I think you have to do it, and it’s a difficult — a very difficult thing,” Trump said. “It’s – but you have to have it, you know, there are rules, regulations, laws. They came in illegally.”

Asked if he wanted Dreamers — those brought to the country as children and enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — to stay in the U.S., Trump said: “I do. I want to be able to work something out.”

On abortion, Trump continued to acknowledge the political importance of the issue and said he would not stand in the way of distributing abortion pills.

“Will you restrict the availability of abortion pills during your term?” Welker asked.

“I’ll probably stick with exactly what I’ve been saying for the last two years,” Trump said. “And the answer is no.”
