Washington, March 14 (NationPress) - On Saturday, US President Donald Trump encouraged the younger generation of Americans to explore careers in artificial intelligence while also defending recent military actions taken by the US abroad during an extensive interview with YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul. This engagement served as a platform for Trump to connect directly with young voters.

During the conversation, Trump emphasized the importance of pursuing work that one enjoys, but also urged young individuals to consider sectors with expanding opportunities.

"You must always seek something you love doing," Trump stated, adding, "If you don't enjoy what you're doing, success will be elusive."

He highlighted artificial intelligence as the most promising field in the current job landscape.

"Currently, the hottest sector is AI," Trump remarked, noting, "If you grasp the AI concept, you will land an extraordinary job with compensation that seems unbelievable, numbers you never imagined."

The interview spanned topics from boxing to politics and included Trump’s perspective on his public appeal.

Paul inquired about Trump's transition from business and television to politics, asking for advice to inspire younger individuals wanting to create a significant impact in America.

Trump revealed this decision had been in contemplation for years.

"I had to make the move," he stated, adding, "I had one opportunity left."

He mentioned that his wife, Melania Trump, had encouraged him to either commit to politics or refrain from discussing it.

"Either do it or don't do it," he recounted her saying.

Trump portrayed political success as a competitive endeavor.

"The most substantial victories occur when you face challenges head-on," he said, asserting, "There’s no comparable feeling to winning."

Trump reiterated that his outreach through long-form interviews and online personalities has significantly aided his connection with younger demographics.

"I achieved success with youth," he noted, stating, "Republicans tend to struggle with younger voters, but I excelled."

The President credited his son, Barron Trump, for introducing him to online creators and influencers.

"Barron advised, 'Dad, you must appear on Joe Rogan,'" Trump shared, regarding those appearances as pivotal for his campaign's communication strategy.

On foreign policy, Trump stood by his actions against Iran, asserting that using force was essential.

"We needed to eliminate the evil," he stated.

He claimed Iran represented an imminent threat, stating, "If we had not attacked them first, they would have targeted us."

Trump connected this decision to Iran's nuclear ambitions.

"Our top priority is ensuring they do not acquire nuclear weapons," he said, adding, "If we had not conducted the B2 attack, they would have developed a nuclear weapon."

He also utilized the interview to showcase his immigration policies and address concerns about urban crime.

"We are focused on removing violent offenders from the US," he said, emphasizing, "We need to eliminate the dangerous individuals."

The discussion included lighter exchanges as well.

Trump complimented Paul's resilience in the ring, remarking, "You truly are the real deal," and expressed pride in him.

Paul reciprocated by acknowledging Trump's "American story" and expressed a desire to motivate young viewers to pursue their aspirations.
