Donald Trump, with no experience in politics, shocked the world with his leadership qualities right after assuming office. Here are some of his key concerns and actions so far:
Deployment of Troops at the Mexico-US Border
An internal leaked document reveals that Trump intends to deploy ten thousand soldiers as part of his immigration enforcement campaign. This follows his order to deploy an additional 1500 troops to the Southern border to erect barriers. A military source confirmed, however, that these soldiers will not partake in any “law enforcement” operations.
Russia Dialogue After Sanctions Were Imposed
The Kremlin has shown readiness for “equal dialogue” soon after Trump threatened to sanction Moscow for not ceasing the war in Ukraine. While these diplomatic developments move forward, the focus of the world remains on how these events unfold.
His Views on TikTok
In his first interview back in the White House after four years, Trump dove straight into addressing worries of TikTok being a spying tool for the Chinese government and rendering it harmless. He argued to Fox News that TikTok would, “stay around,” claiming that means from China can be used for spying too.
Evaluation: Quick Commencement of His Presidential Term
As North America correspondent, Zurcher points out that Trump has “come out swinging,” indicating that everything is in motion with both domestic and global concerns now sorely at risk.
