On Monday, January 20, Trump became the president of the United States again.In order to realize the slogan of “MAGA (Make America Great Again)”, dozens of presidential decrees were signed from the first day of office, striving to fulfill the commitments of introducing global unified tariffs and compulsory repatriation of illegal immigrants. Their policies will be closely linked to all parties.focus on.
Some foreign media analyzed that if Trump is added on the second day of his tenure, he is believed to sign about 100 presidential decrees.As the number of signings in the first year of office, only President Truman has exceeded 100.If Trump actually signs, it will surpass this number, and at least the number of signings on the first day will be the highest since World War II.

The tariff-related measures that are of great concern to all countries.Trump said he would sign a presidential decree to impose a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico on the first day of his inauguration, due to illegal immigration and illegal drug smuggling.
It is possible to declare the national economy a “state of emergency” on the grounds of inflow of illegal immigrants, and increase tariffs on this basis.If tariffs are raised based on the declaration of a state of emergency, it will be the first time since President Nixon.
Severe measures will also be taken on the issue of illegal immigration.Trump promised in every speech that “the largest mandatory repatriation in history will be launched on the first day of his tenure” and is expected to issue a presidential order to combat illegal immigration.The US military’s mobilization has also been included in the vision.
The United States is believed to exist among the 11 million illegal immigrants, and it is very likely that at least millions of people will be targeted for forced deportation.
Major US media reported on January 17 that starting from the second day of taking office, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will carry out large-scale mandatory repatriation operations in Chicago.Chicago is known as one of the sanctuary cities that are tolerant of illegal immigrants.
Compared to the Biden administration, the pendulum seems to be turning sharply in the opposite direction in the energy and environment sectors.Trump has repeatedly criticized the current strict fuel efficiency standards since the election period, believing that this is the de facto “pure electric vehicle (EV) obligation”.The combustion efficiency standards will be significantly relaxed.
Trump will once again withdraw from the Paris Agreement, which withdrew from the first administration and returned to the Biden administration.Faced with the domestic automobile and energy industry, it will demonstrate that it attaches more importance to expanding its business than environmental protection.
As a measure to match restrictions and relaxation, breaking bureaucracy will also become the focus of the second Trump administration.Trump has long made it clear that he would sign a presidential decree allowing the mass firing of officials on his first day of office.
Trump will resume the presidential decree signed at the end of his first term, replacing bureaucratic positions involved in important policies with newly established political appointments known as the “Schedule F”.The positions in the “Plan F” will not be subject to civil servant employment protection.
Some media reported that Trump’s policy will include the following core content:
1. Sign an executive order to declare a national energy emergency
2. Sign a memorandum on inflation, and imagine “government responds to inflation in all aspects”
3. Establish a Ministry of Government Efficiency
4. Restoring death penalty in the field of public safety
5. No specific oil price target
6. Sign an executive order to terminate the federal government’s DEI plan
