[Trump Claims His Power Is Limited Only by His Own Moral Standards]
U.S. President Trump stated on Wednesday evening that, as the Commander-in-Chief, his power is limited only by his own moral standards, asserting that international law and other checks and balances cannot restrict his use of military force or pressure on countries around the world. In an interview with *The New York Times*, Trump said the only limiting factors on his global authority are his personal moral principles and will. He added, 'I don’t need international law, I have no intention of harming anyone.' When asked whether his administration needs to abide by international law, Trump said it would comply but emphasized that when constraints apply to the U.S., he would act as the ultimate decision-maker.
