Washington: US President Donald Trump has completed the first 100 days of his second term, using his executive authority to push forward his agenda. However, several of his campaign promises remain unfulfilled as federal courts and international complexities pose significant challenges.
According to EMM, despite Trump's bold initiatives, federal courts have impeded or completely halted some of his aggressive measures. His promise to swiftly resolve the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine remains unachieved, with both regions still embroiled in conflict. Trump had claimed he could broker a peace deal in Ukraine on "Day One" of his presidency, yet the conflict persists. Meanwhile, his administration has undertaken a large-scale campaign of airstrikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The president's imposition of worldwide tariffs has created volatility in the US stock market and heightened fears of a potential recession. This economic uncertainty has led to anxiety among businesses dependent on imports and a noticeable decline in consumer confidence.
In immigration policy, Trump has been particularly forceful. The number of arrests of migrants in the US illegally during the first three months of his second term has already exceeded last year's total. This aggressive stance reflects his continued focus on immigration as a key issue of his administration.
