U.S Politics

The inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States for his second term took place on Jan. 20, 2025. Trump outlined a wide-ranging agenda that blends traditional conservative. Notably, he signed 26 executive orders on Inauguration Day which is the highest number by any U.S. president to sign on that day. Trump’s second-term agenda has focus mainly under the banner of “Making America First,” “retribution” and “law and order.” He aimed at aggressively reshaping the Federal Government, restoring hardline policies from his first term, and shift America’s global role through protectionism and reduced international engagement.   Trump had emphasizes avoiding foreign wars and promoting a non-interventionist foreign policy focusing instead on border security and economic growth. He opposed “endless wars” and advocated reducing the U.S. military presence abroad. He repeatedly stated that the U.S. should avoid costly wars in the Middle East that lack clear American interests, using slogans like “We are not the world’s policeman” and “End the endless wars.” He sharply criticized previous administrations for prolonged military engagements in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria.   However, despite these promises made during his 2024 campaign, Trump’s actions in office have diverged significantly from his non-interventionist stance.
