Donald Trump will end his boycott of Fox News Tuesday night with an appearance on The O’Reilly Factor, Fox News has revealed.
Although he was scheduled to appear on the program last Thursday, the day before his appearance Trump tweeted his intention to boycott Fox. The news network later claimed that they cancelled the interview.
Trump and Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, who spoke last week by phone, are expected to meet this week regarding the network’s handling of Trump, whose unconventional approach to campaigning has put him at odds with the media on several occasions.
Trump and Fox News have an on-again, off-again relationship that hit a major low after the initial Republican debate hosted by Fox News. Trump and several Fox hosts, primarily Megyn Kelly, have sparred since that time.
Although Trump has not been on Fox, he has been a frequent guest on other networks, including appearances on CBS, CNN and NBC.
On Monday, Trump unveiled a tax plan that is likely to be a major subject of conversation during his Fox interview.
“There will be a major tax reduction, it will simplify the tax code, it will grow the American economy in ways we have not seen for decades,” Trump said Monday.
“I will probably end up paying more money, but at the same time I think the economy will do better, so I’ll make it up that way,” he told CNN. “I believe in the end I might do better because I really believe the economy is going to go boom, beautiful.”
