The president expressed regret over the complications his presidency has created for his children's investment activities, acknowledging the difficult position in which the dual responsibilities place family members.

According to the interview, Trump defended the legitimacy of his family's business interests while recognizing that his position as president inevitably raises questions about potential conflicts of interest. The candid remarks underscore the longstanding challenge of separating personal financial interests from executive office duties.
