In a candid admission, President Donald Trump acknowledged on Wednesday the legal restrictions barring U.S. presidents from seeking a third term. He affirmed his awareness of the law while speaking to reporters aboard his flight to South Korea.

'If you read it, it's pretty clear, I'm not allowed to run,' Trump remarked, expressing his acceptance of the constitutional limit with a note of regret. 'It's too bad,' he added, thereby dismissing speculation about possible moves to extend his presidency beyond a second term.

This statement aligns with existing constitutional provisions, reaffirming Trump's adherence to legal frameworks governing presidential tenure in the United States.
