US President Donald Trump has denied that he is considering running for a third presidential term, a move which experts agree is banned under the US Constitution.
"I'll be an eight-year president, I'll be a two-term president. I always thought that was very important," Trump told NBC's Meet the Press with Kristen Welker in an interview that will air on Sunday.
Trump has previously said that he was "not joking" about wanting to serve a third, or even fourth, term as US president.
He later said his statements were meant to troll the "fake news media".
He added that "there are many people selling the 2028 hat".
"I think four years is plenty of time to do something really spectacular," he added.
The Constitution's 22nd Amendment says that "no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice".
Changing the constitution would require a two-thirds approval from both the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as approval from three-quarters of the country's state-level governments.
However, some Trump supporters say there is a loophole in the constitution, which has been untested in court.
Asked by NBC whether anyone has approached him with these theories, Trump deflected, answering that "in a capacity of being a big supporter, many people have said different things".
During the interview, Trump also rejected criticism of his handling of the economy.
"Look, yeah. Everything's OK," he said after his tariff plan roiled international economies, leading the US economy to shrink for the first time since 2022.
"I said, this is a transition period. I think we're going to do fantastically," he added.
Asked if the US economy may continue to shrink, he responded: "Anything can happen. But I think we're going to have the greatest economy in the history of our country."
