Trump: There will be no third term
Political
US President Donald Trump said he had no intention of participating in the 2028 election, citing the constitutional ban on holding the office of head of state for more than two terms. In an interview with NBC News, he emphasized that he had not planned to remain in power for more than eight years from the very beginning.
In a conversation with journalist Kristen Walker, Trump confirmed that after completing his second term, he plans to transfer leadership to the new Republican Party leaders.
He named two potential successors: current Vice President Jay Dee Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio's mention was unexpected - previously, his name had not appeared on the lists of potential presidential candidates.
The statement came amid rumors about Trump's possible attempt to remain in power and the "Trump 2028" cap marketing campaign, which sparked a strong reaction in the media and social networks.
However, the US Constitution clearly limits presidential leadership to two terms, and Trump confirmed his intention to follow the letter of the law.
