ABC News has secured the first sit-down interview with President Donald J. Trump to mark his 100th day in office. The special, “President Trump the First 100 Days: The Interview in the Oval Office,” airs Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at 8:00 PM EDT/7:00 PM CDT. Senior national correspondent Terry Moran will conduct the interview from the Oval Office, a setting meant to underscore the weight of the occasion.
The 100-day mark has become a traditional, if somewhat arbitrary, milestone for taking the temperature of a new administration. It’s a time for reflection, pronouncements, and – for the media – a chance to hold the president’s feet to the fire. This particular interview carries extra weight, given the, shall we say, unconventional nature of Trump’s return to the presidency.
What’s on the agenda? Everything and nothing. Expect Moran to press the president on his policy decisions, both foreign and domestic. Also expect the president to offer his own, often unique, interpretations of events. While ABC is keeping tight-lipped about the specifics, one can imagine topics ranging from economic policy to the ongoing war in Ukraine will be on the table.
“World News Tonight with David Muir” will feature a preview of the interview earlier on Tuesday. The full interview will also be available for streaming on ABC News Live, Hulu, and Disney+ later that evening. ABC News indicates that their programs and platforms will offer additional coverage throughout the week. For those interested in the political machinations of the current administration, this interview should provide considerable fodder.
