Trump’s 60 Minutes interview: immigration regrets and key takeaways

ctvnews.ca — November 9, 2026 at 06:01 PM UTC

President Donald Trump offered his most extensive assessment yet of historic Republican losses in a "60 Minutes" interview aired Sunday, acknowledging his immigration crackdown was "too tough" while extending an invitation to Democrats to work together on the issue. Trump took no personal blame for the election wipeout, citing Iran and bad messaging as primary culprits. He conceded deportations of long-term undocumented migrants without serious crimes went too far, though he named immigration policy architect Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff. The interview also covered Trump's hatred of enemies, qualified support for Vice President JD Vance's Iran essay, hedging on endorsing a successor, and downplaying corruption concerns over his family's crypto ventures.
