The newly appointed President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced a series of measures in his first actions upon taking office. Among them, notable changes include renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and reverting the name of Mount Denali back to Mount McKinley in honor of former President William McKinley.
Regarding immigration policy, Trump declared a state of emergency at the border with Mexico and ordered the deployment of the military to reinforce it. Additionally, he plans to restore the "Remain in Mexico" policy for asylum seekers and designate drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, committing to deport millions of criminal migrants.
Another highlighted point in his speech was the recovery of control over the Panama Canal, which he claims is currently administered by China, promising to take measures to bring it back under U.S. control.
In terms of the economy, Trump announced the implementation of tariffs on foreign products to benefit American citizens and the promotion of policies supporting the fossil fuel industry by easing regulations.
Internationally, the president withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreement on climate change and made controversial statements regarding the official recognition of only two genders: male and female.
In a symbolic gesture, Trump promised to take the American flag to Mars, which drew applause, especially from Elon Musk, who was present at the ceremony.
In his inauguration speech, Trump described his election as a divine act and promised to "end the weaponization and politicization of the Department of Justice." On his first day as the 47th president of the United States, he made it clear that his term would be marked by controversial decisions, criticism of the Washington elite, and the legacy of his predecessor, Joe Biden. This new term for Trump is shaping up to be a period that will generate division and controversy both nationally and internationally.
