Fox News host Brett Bayer noted that there was “a lot to prove” about what it was like to interview President Trump.
Baier sat in the interview Notus for the newsroom forum Wednesday, just hours after Trump gave a joint speech to Congress.
He was asked what was the most challenging part of his interview with Trump. Baier interviewed the president just before the Super Bowl last month.
“If we check the facts in real time, we have to argue that it's worth dying on that hill. “You know, there's a lot to prove through what he says.”
“But to get the news, I think you're going to lead him to the question you're trying to go to the centre of the issue,” he added.
During an interview with Byer, Trump defended his plan to place tariffs on Canada due to the trade deficit between the two countries.
“Why do we pay $200 billion a year with subsidies to Canada?” Trump said.
According to the Census Bureauthe trade deficit with Canada last year was much lower than Trump's claims – about $63 billion.
economist Focused on the deficit It's not a subsidy. Money is directed towards purchasing valuable goods and services rather than heading from American goodwill to Canada.
Trump has since said tariffs are intended to curb the flow of immigration and fentanyl.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump also said the United States is “not that rich now.”
“We're $36 trillion [in debt]that's because we've made all these countries take advantage of us,” Trump said.
According to World Bank Group information, the US gross domestic product is the largest in the world, at $27.7 trillion.
Baier admitted that it's difficult to answer questions in the truth to Trump, but he noticed that unlike former President Biden, he often talks to the media.
“He answers more questions than any other president I've ever seen. I think he's already answering 1,400 questions from the press in some form, shape, form,” says Baier. “The comparison with the last president is rather in contrast to the daytime and daytime.”
“He will ultimately answer the question. You have to give him time to get there. That's a TV interview challenge,” he added.
