Trump Claims Unchecked Power in Startling Interview

In a wide-ranging interview, U.S. President Donald Trump stated he alone would decide the limits of his own power. He dismissed the authority of international laws and treaties. The President made these comments while discussing Venezuela and a potential U.S. purchase of Greenland. He presented himself as the final judge of his presidential actions. This assertion challenges established global rules. These rules, known as international law, are agreements between countries. Traditionally, they bind all nations, including the United States. The remarks confirm a long-standing pattern of this presidency. Experts say it shows a preference for unilateral power over cooperative, global agreements.
