US President Donald Trump has said he has no intention of running for re-election to the highest state office for a third time.
„I'll be president for a total of eight years, two terms. „I've always thought that's very important“, he said in an interview with NBC News.
Trump added that his supporters regularly call for him to run for a third term in the future, but he has no intention of doing so. Many people are selling hats with the inscription „Trump 2028“. But I'm not going to do that. „I'll have four great years and then hand them over to someone else, ideally a great Republican“, the American leader noted.
According to the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, adopted in 1951, the same person can be elected head of state no more than twice. The next presidential election in the United States will be held in 2028. At the same time, Trump previously admitted the possibility of running for a third term, and information appeared in the media that the US President had instructed the Department of Justice to investigate the legality of his possible participation in the 2028 presidential election.
