Donald Trump will assume the presidency of the United States this Monday and has an overflowing inbox with topics such as mass immigration, trade conflicts, and wars in Europe and the Middle East. An initial quick list of pardons is also expected.
Experts consulted agree that Trump will begin his term focusing on immigration, a central theme of his campaign. "You will be blown away when you see what is going to happen," Trump commented in October about his plans. As he takes office as the 47th president of the United States, Trump is expected to prioritize immigration and the situation in Ukraine in his first week of management.
He is expected to sign executive orders accelerating the deportation of undocumented immigrants, restart the construction of the border wall with Mexico, and take action in the Ukrainian conflict. Pressure on Congress is also expected to modify the Affordable Care Act and tax cuts for the rich.
Among his plans, a series of executive orders focusing on issues such as border closure, mass deportations, and cuts to immigrant protection programs are contemplated. Trump could work with the Republican Congress on his tax cut legislation, despite the tight majority in the House of Representatives.
Tariffs will be a priority in his first week, with potential internal disagreements on the aggressiveness of their application. Experts point out that Trump will need to satisfy his base with immigration reforms and the general public with price reductions. Major campaign promises, such as talks with leaders of Russia and China, will also be closely monitored.
In the realm of international policies, a strong representation on immigration issues and possible tariffs on Chinese imports is expected in the early days of his term. Donald Trump begins his administration with a loaded agenda of challenges and expectations.
