President Trump is set to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House. This meeting will take place amid the implementation of new tariffs on imported auto parts which have sparked concerns about potential price increases for vehicles and repairs. The tariffs coincide with rising prices for various household goods, including tires, strollers, and clothing, although the president downplayed these increases in comparison to energy costs.

The White House is currently engaged in negotiating multiple trade agreements, including those with key trading partners, China and Canada. According to Canadian Prime Minister Carney, discussions with President Trump will focus on immediate trade issues as well as the broader economic and security relationship between the two countries.

During a recent interview, President Trump reiterated his longstanding desire to make Canada part of the United States, dismissing the idea of achieving this through military force. However, he did not rule out the possibility of using military force to annex Greenland, noting that although he has not committed to such action, he does not dismiss any options. Separately, the president addressed questions regarding his adherence to the Constitution, particularly the right to due process, in light of expedited deportations of migrants. He deferred to his legal team and the Supreme Court's decisions on these matters. Additionally, President Trump confirmed he has no intention of pursuing a third term as president, in accordance with the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution.

This weekend, new tariffs on auto parts are sparking concern prices will rise for new cars and repairs. This comes as prices spike for many household goods. Speaking to NBC News, the president said he's focused on other costs. Some prices are going up, tires, strollers, some clothing in the wake of your tariffs. That's peanuts compared to energy. The White House has to negotiate hundreds of trade deals, including with top trading partners China and Canada. Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney set to meet with Trump on Tuesday. Our focus will be on both immediate trade pressures and the broader future economic and security relationship. The president repeated his desire to make Canada the 51st state, although not likely by force. It would be a cherished state. He again would not rule out military force to annex Greenland. But you are not ruling out military force to take Greenland. I don't rule it out. I don't say I'm going to do it, but I don't rule out anything. During the interview, the president would not fully commit to upholding the right to due process. His administration has swiftly moved to deport thousands of migrants, but court challenges have slowed down the effort. Don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president? I don't know. I have to respond by saying again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me. And they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said. President Trump also said he's not looking to serve a third term, which is prohibited by the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution. Jerika? All right. Willie James Inman in West Palm Beach. Thank you.
