On his first day as president, Donald Trump signed executive orders reversing key policies and introducing dramatic new measures.

Climate Agreement and Foreign Aid Suspended

Trump withdrew the US from the Paris Climate Agreement, citing concerns about costs and conflicts with American values. He also suspended all US foreign aid for 90 days to evaluate its effectiveness. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will decide future allocations.

“Peace Through Strength” Approach

Trump pledged to pursue “peace through strength,” quoting Ronald Reagan, during his inaugural Commander-in-Chief Ball speech. He promised to end unnecessary wars and prevent new ones.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised Trump’s vision, calling it a chance to strengthen US leadership. Trump announced plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon to discuss the Ukraine conflict.

Israel and Hamas Ceasefire

Trump expressed skepticism about the recent Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, claiming it is “not our war.” Despite taking credit for the agreement, he removed sanctions on extremist Israeli settlers imposed by the Biden administration.

NATO and Trade Policies

Trump criticized Spain for failing to meet NATO’s defense spending goals and suggested NATO nations raise their threshold to 5% of GDP. He also proposed imposing high tariffs on BRICS nations to protect US business interests.

Although he delayed immediate tariffs on Canada and Mexico, he announced new tariffs on Canadian goods starting February 1.

A New Direction

Trump’s first day signaled significant shifts in US foreign and domestic policy, emphasizing his “America First” doctrine and aggressive reforms.
