Donald Trump, poised for a second term as US President, outlines an assertive 'Day One' agenda. Central to his plan is the termination of the Ukraine conflict, a move seen as potentially destabilizing by international observers. Trump's agenda also includes withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, signaling a drastic shift in environmental policy. Immigration policies will undergo severe changes, with mass deportations and the construction of new detention facilities on the table. Domestically, Trump aims to curtail LGBT rights and restrict abortion access, reflecting a conservative social agenda.
The economic landscape would see alterations too, with proposed tax cuts and increased tariffs, aiming to fortify American industry against foreign competition. Trump also plans to overhaul federal institutions, potentially firing numerous officials to place politically aligned appointees in their stead. This move is part of a broader strategy to concentrate executive power, raising concerns about an 'imperial presidency.'
On the international front, Trump's 'America First' policy could lead to a more isolationist stance, impacting alliances and global trade dynamics. His victory and subsequent plans are likely to embolden populist movements globally, while potentially straining relationships with traditional allies.
