President Donald Trump hasn’t said much on the issue of reparations but in a 2019 interview with, The Hill he said he thinks the concept of the federal government giving reparations to the descendants of slaves is “unusual” and “interesting” but he doesn’t “see it happening.”
“I think it’s a very unusual thing,” Trump told when asked about the idea of trying to rectify the enduring effects of slavery’s legacy. “It’s been a very interesting debate. I don’t see it happening, no.”
