US President-elect Donald Trump will Meet the Press in an exclusive television interview on National Broadcasting Company (NBC), this coming weekend, the American commercial broadcast television and radio network announced on Wednesday

The sit-down will be Trump’s first media interview since winning the 2024 presidential election in November, earning a return to the White House after defeating vice president Kamala Harris.

With his victory, Trump became the first candidate to win the presidency in two non-consecutive terms in more than 130 years, since Grover Cleveland did it in 1892. Trump defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016 but lost to Joe Biden in 2020.

Trump, 78, also is the oldest man ever elected to the nation’s highest office, breaking the record held by President Joe Biden. Trump is set to be officially sworn into office as the 47th President in January. It will be his second sit-down interview with NBC‘s Kristen Welker.

The interview will be recorded on Friday and aired on Sunday at 10:30 am in New York and Washington, D.C.; (17:30 pm EAT).

In recent weeks, Trump has made news by putting forth his picks for potential cabinet members. They include Dr. Mehmet Oz as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator, Sen.
