As we know, Donald Trump has been elected as the new president of the United States of America. He’s coming back to the White House, having promised action on issues including immigration,economy and the war in Ukraine.
In his victory speech, Trump mentioned he would govern following a simple motto: “Promises made, promises kept”. During his speech, he has also given details about what he’s going to be doing for his fellow Americans.
1)Trump promised the biggest mass deportations of undocumented migrants in US history. He also pledged to complete the wall at the border with Mexico, started during the first presidency. Experts have said that this mass deportation will lead to a slow economic growth, legal and logistical problems.
2) Trump has promised “end inflation”; — which rose to high levels under President Joe Biden before falling again. But a presiden’s power to directly influence prices is limited. He has also promised sweeping tax cuts, extending his overhaul from 2017. He has proposed making tips tax-free, abolishing tax on social security payments and shaving corporation tax.
He has proposed new tariffs of at least 10% on most foreign goods, to cut the trade deficit. Imports from China could bear an additional 60% tariff, he has said. Some economists have warned that such moves could push up prices for ordinary people.
3) During his first presidency, Trump rolled back hundreds of environmental protections and made America the first nation to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. This time, he has again vowed to cut regulations, particularly as a way to help the American car industry. He has constantly attacked electric vehicles, promising to overturn Biden’stargets encouraging the switch to cleaner cars.
He has pledged to increase production of US fossil fuels — vowing to”drill, drill, drill”; on day one in favour of renewable energy sources such as wind power.
4) Trump has criticized the tens of billions of dollars spent by the US on supporting Ukraine in its war with Russia — and has pledged to end the conflict “within 24 hours”; through a negotiated deal.
He has not said what he thinks either side should give up. Democrats say the move would embolden President Vladimir Putin. Trump wants the US to disentangle itself from foreign conflicts generally.
Regarding the war in Gaza — Trump has positioned himself as a staunch supporter of Israel, but has urged the American ally to end its operation.
