Donald Trump, set to be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, has made ambitious promises for his first day in office. While not all may be achievable immediately, the list underscores his commitment to significant changes.
On immigration, Trump plans the largest deportation effort in U.S. history, targeting all individuals in the country illegally, alongside closing the borders. He also aims to end birthright citizenship, which grants automatic citizenship to anyone born in the U.S., including children of undocumented immigrants.
Trump intends to issue pardons for some involved in the January 6 Capitol riots, a move possible via executive order. Economically, he proposes a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% on Chinese goods, potentially reigniting trade tensions.
In international relations, Trump has expressed a desire to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict, though this would require more than executive action. Domestically, he plans to undo certain Biden-era environmental regulations, specifically targeting the push for electric vehicles.
On energy, Trump will declare a national emergency to expedite drilling and pipeline projects. Education reforms include cutting federal funds to schools promoting critical race theory, vaccine, or mask mandates.
Lastly, Trump seeks to dismantle the “deep state” by reinstating Schedule F, reclassifying many civil servants as political appointees. This move would increase his administration’s control over federal bureaucracy.
These initiatives reflect Trump’s readiness to use executive power to advance his agenda rapidly.
