WEST PALM BEACH, Florida — President-elect Donald Trump discussed childhood vaccines, his deportation plans and Ukraine's use of US-supplied missiles in a lengthy Time magazine interview published on Thursday (Dec 12).

Here are some notable things Trump said, according to the interview transcript:

Ukraine's use of US-supplied missiles

Trump criticised Ukraine's use of US-supplied missiles for attacks deep into Russian territory.

"I disagree very vehemently with sending missiles hundreds of miles into Russia. Why are we doing that? We're just escalating this war and making it worse. That should not have been allowed to be done."

"Now they're doing not only missiles, but they're doing other types of weapons. And I think that's a very big mistake, very big mistake."

Trump said he will not abandon Ukraine, however. "I want to reach an agreement, and the only way you're going to reach an agreement is not to abandon," he said.

Ending childhood vaccination programs

Trump said he could end some childhood vaccinations if he thinks they are dangerous.
