US President Donald Trump has left an interview with NBC's Meet The Press after a heated argument with journalist Kristen Welker over his statements about the election process.
During the conversation, Trump repeated his claims that the 2020 presidential election and some of the current vote counting processes in California were rigged. When asked for concrete evidence, he replied that he only needed to "see and hear."
The journalist objected to this position, emphasizing that it did not constitute evidence, which led to a further clash between them. Trump accused the media of a lack of objectivity and used harsh language towards the moderator.
After that, he declared that he would not continue the interview and stood up, interrupting the conversation before it was over. According to NBC, the interview took place on a farm in the state of Wisconsin, under difficult conditions due to weather and technical disruptions.
This is not the first time Trump has interrupted interviews or clashed with reporters during critical questions, especially when the topic is related to the election.
In the remainder of the conversation, developments with Iran were also discussed, with Trump emphasizing that the US must prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons and that American engagement will not turn into a protracted conflict.
After the broadcast, journalist Welker stated that the possibility of another interview in the future had been discussed, as both parties acknowledged that weather conditions had affected the course of the conversation.
