Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election will likely bring about major changes in US trade policy, attitudes to the war in Ukraine, climate change, electric vehicles, taxes and illegal immigration.

Trump promised voters that he would pursue a policy different from that pursued by the previous Democratic administration. While some of his proposals will require congressional approval, here's an overview of the changes he has announced he will introduce during his second term.

More customs

Trump touted the idea of ​​imposing tariffs of 10 percent or more on all goods imported into the United States, which he said would eliminate the trade deficit. Critics say it could raise prices for American consumers and cause global economic instability Nova.rs. 

He hinted that allies like the European Union could face higher tariffs on their goods.

However, Trump's policy specifically targets China. It proposes phasing out Chinese imports of goods such as electronics, steel and medicine over the next four years. It also plans to bar Chinese companies from owning US real estate and infrastructure in the energy and technology sectors.

Mass deportations

He has promised to roll back policies from his first term aimed at illegal border crossings, as well as to introduce tough new restrictions. He has also vowed to limit asylum access at the US-Mexico border and to carry out the largest deportation crackdown in US history, which is likely to draw legal challenges and opposition from Democrats in Congress.

Trump has said he will seek to end automatic birthright citizenship for the children of migrants, which contradicts a longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. He also indicated that he would end protected legal status for certain communities, such as Haitians or Venezuelans.

End of green politics

Trump has vowed to increase U.S. fossil fuel production by easing the permitting process for drilling on federal lands and encouraging the opening of new pipelines. He said he would reauthorize oil drilling in Alaska.

However, it remains an open question whether the oil industry will increase production at a time when oil and gas prices are relatively low.

He argues that the US needs to increase energy production to remain competitive in the development of artificial intelligence systems, which consume vast amounts of energy.

Completion of racial diversity programs

Trump promised voters that he would require American higher education institutions to "defend the American tradition and Western civilization." Instead, he announced that he would order the Justice Department to bring civil rights cases against schools that support racial discrimination.

In preschools and schools, Trump would support programs that allow parents to use public funds for private or religious education.

Trump also wants to abolish the federal Department of Education and leave control of schools to the states.

There is no federal ban on abortion

During his first term as president, he appointed three US Supreme Court justices to form a majority in a 1973 ruling that struck down constitutional protections for abortion rights. He will likely continue to appoint federal judges who support abortion restrictions.

End of wars

Trump has criticized US support for Ukraine in its war with Russia and has previously said he could end the war in 24 hours if elected, although he did not specify how he would do so. He suggested that Ukraine may have to cede some territory to reach a peace deal, which Ukraine has repeatedly rejected.

He also stated that during his presidency, the US would thoroughly review "NATO's purpose and mission." He supports Israel in the fight against Hamas in Gaza, but has called for an end to the Israeli offensive.

It is expected that Trump will continue the policy of arming Israel, which is also led by the Biden administration. He is likely to push for the normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, which he initiated during his presidency from 2017 to 2021 and which Biden also supported.

He also stated that he would "stop the suffering and destruction in Lebanon", but did not explain how he intends to achieve this.

He proposed building an "Iron Dome," a massive anti-missile shield similar to Israel's, over the United States.

Trump has also proposed sending the armed forces to Mexico to fight drug cartels and using the US Navy to blockade Mexico to prevent the smuggling of the dangerous drug fentanyl.

Investigations against enemies, support for allies

Trump has occasionally vowed to use federal law enforcement agencies to investigate his political enemies, including Democratic election officials, lawyers and donors. He announced that he would consider appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Biden, although he did not specify a basis for such an investigation.

He also announced the possibility of firing attorneys general who do not follow his instructions, which would represent a break with the long-standing US policy of an independent federal law enforcement apparatus.

Trump said he would consider pardoning anyone convicted of crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol after his defeat in the previous presidential election was announced.

In addition to criminal investigations, he suggested using government regulatory powers to punish dissenters, such as television networks.

Tax credits

Trump has vowed to roll back federal regulations that he sees as limiting employment. He promised to keep the big tax cuts of 2017 and that his economic team would consider a further round of tax cuts for individuals and companies.

He also promised to cut corporate taxes from 21% to 15% for companies that make products in the US.

He said he would propose legislation that would eliminate tip and overtime taxes to help workers. He promised not to cut social security contributions.

He also said he would pressure the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, though he would not directly ask for it.

Most of his tax proposals will require congressional approval. Budget analysts warn that additional tax cuts could increase the federal debt.

Cleaning up the federal bureaucracy

Trump plans to eliminate the "deep state," that is, career federal employees who, he claims, covertly pursue their own goals. He would accomplish this with an executive order that would allow thousands of workers to be laid off, though that would likely be challenged in court.

He will set up an independent commission on government efficiency under Elon Musk to curb waste. Trump did not specify how the body would operate, given existing federal oversight bodies.
