President Donald Trump appeared on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with host Maria Bartiromo, in which he discussed a variety of issues from his first few weeks back in the White House. Key talking points included his tariffs, which have resulted in a trade war, mounting fears that the U.S. may be heading into a recession, and foreign relations—specifically that with Ukraine, after Trump clashed with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office on Feb. 28.

00:00Let me stay on the economy for a moment, because there are rising worries about a slowdown.
00:04You've got the Atlanta Federal Reserve saying we're going to have a contraction in the first
00:07quarter. Look, I know that you inherited a mess, and you said that the other night.
00:11I've already been here for a while.
00:12Are you expecting a recession this year?
00:16I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition, because what we're doing
00:23is very big. We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing. And there are
00:28always periods of... It takes a little time. It takes a little time.
00:34Can you give us a sense of whether or not we are going to get clarity for the business community?
00:39Well, I think so. But, you know, the tariffs could go up as time goes by,
00:42and they may go up. And, you know, I don't know if it's predictability. I think that...
00:46So that's not clarity?
00:47No, I think that they say that. You know, it sounds good to say. But for years,
00:54the globalists, the big globalists have been ripping off the United States. They've been
00:58taking money away from the United States. And all we're doing is getting some of it back,

01:10Well, it may not survive anyway, but, you know, we have some weaknesses with Russia.
01:16You know, it takes two. Look, it was not going to happen, that war, and it happened.
01:22So now we're stuck with this mess.
