President Donald Trump did not rule out seeking a third term for president when asked by NBC on Sunday, saying, “There are methods which you could do it."

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said Sunday. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”

Meanwhile, tariffs on imported autos are to go into effect on Wednesday. While economist predict Trump's tariffs will raise prices in the U.S., his tariffs czar, Peter Navarro, predicted they would result in tax cuts: "Tariffs are tax cuts, tariffs are jobs, tariffs are national security, tariffs are great for America," Navarro told Fox News.

Trump says he'll 'absolutely' follow through on Canada tariff threat

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney informed President Donald Trump on Friday that his government will impose retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. on April 2, when the Trump administration is set to implement a fresh round of sweeping levies.

Trump had said on Thursday that he'd fire back with large-scale tariffs "far larger than currently planned" if Canada teamed up with the European Union to push back against his tariffs.

Asked on Friday by ABC News Senior Political Correspondent Rachel Scott if he would follow through on that promise, Trump said: "Absolutely."

Trump went on to call his conversation with Carney earlier Friday "very, very good" and said, despite current tensions due to his administration trade war, the U.S. is "going to end up with a very good relationship with Canada and most countries."
