During the first 10 days in the White House, Trump has maintained an aggressive and populist stance. Internationally, his expansionist aim stands out, seemingly seeking to return to the era of expansion and U.S. trade protectionism. This strategy, devised by key figures such as Steve Bannon, director of Breitbart News, and Stephen Miller, number two in the White House, aims to overwhelm the opposition by flooding it with initiatives and generating chaos.
In the immigration arena, Trump has sought to instill fear among immigrants through measures such as raids and the adaptation of the Guantanamo prison to host 30,000 migrants before their deportation. On the other hand, attacks on the so-called "deep state" have been intense, including orders to affect international aid and various government programs, as well as the elimination of a key application in the asylum process.
Despite his efforts, Trump and his team have faced obstacles, such as the lack of budget resources to carry out their immigration agenda. As his strategy of sowing fear in the migrant community unfolds, more confrontations and complications are expected to arise in the coming weeks, as Trump 2.0 tries to consolidate his position and maintain control amid internal and external criticisms and resistances.
