Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview near the US-Mexico border in Arizona on Thursday, saying, “We are in danger,” as authorities in that state failed to find a man who had threatened to kill him.
NewsNation reporter Ali Bradley was unable to fully answer her question, citing “the situation” in southern Arizona, before Trump cut the discussion short.
“Can I tell you something,” he said. “We're standing here talking and in danger, so let's not talk any more. No, I know about it, but they don't want me standing here. They don't want you standing here either.”
Trump then got into his vehicle, surrounded by Secret Service agents.

In the brief interview, Trump claimed that he and Kennedy “haven't talked about that yet,” but he didn't rule it out.
“We'll see. I have a lot of respect for him, and I think he has a lot of respect for me. I just heard this as a news flash, and you know, we've had a great relationship for a long time. If he supports us, that would be an honor for me,” Trump said.
“I have a lot of respect for him. Smart guy. A little bit different, but very smart. And we will take his approval.”

“We'll see what happens,” he said.
