Following his election victory, Donald Trump has outlined several controversial policies, including a promise to ban transgender surgeries for minors. As he prepares for his inauguration on January 20, his administration is expected to focus on a range of issues, with a Republican-controlled Senate paving the way for his agenda.
Key Policy Priorities
Immigration
Trump has pledged to implement the “largest deportation program in American history” and to “seal” the southern border on his first day in office. He plans to revive strict measures like the “Remain in Mexico” policy and Title 42, while pushing for increased border security and immigration enforcement.

Abortion
On abortion, Trump stated he would allow states to set their own restrictions but would veto any federal abortion ban. His previous administration played a pivotal role in overturning Roe v. Wade.
Economy
Trump’s economic plan includes “historic” tax cuts and efforts to combat inflation. He aims to work with business leaders like Elon Musk to reduce federal regulations and lower corporate taxes. Additionally, he promises tariffs on imported goods and policies to bolster American energy independence.
Environment
Trump intends to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement again and promote fossil fuel development, while also terminating regulations favoring electric vehicles.
Foreign Policy
He has vowed to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours by negotiating directly with Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Broader Agenda
Trump’s broader “America First” agenda includes reinstating the travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries, introducing ideological screenings for immigrants, and cracking down on sanctuary cities. He also plans to limit federally funded benefits to U.S. citizens and impose stricter penalties on criminal activities involving undocumented immigrants.
The policies signal a return to Trump’s earlier approaches, sparking both praise and backlash as he prepares to retake the presidency.
