Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office on January 20, 2025, as the 47th president of the United States. Since then, his administration has implemented significant changes across various sectors.
According to official data, Trump signed 26 executive orders on his first day back in office, setting a new record for the most executive orders issued on the same day by a president. Throughout the year, he signed a total of 228 executive orders, exceeding the number from his previous four-year term.
The Department of Homeland Security reported that at least 605,000 people were deported in DHS enforcement operations as of December 10, while an additional 1.9 million individuals self-deported voluntarily. Additionally, approximately 1.6 million people lost their legal immigrant status due to the termination of various programs.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained at least 66,886 people, with an average of 821 arrests per day across the country. Trump also banned citizens from 75 countries from obtaining immigration visas.
The administration imposed tariffs on allies, neighbors, and foes, resulting in a 10% tariff average for all US trading partners. India was hit hardest, with 50% levies applied. According to Treasury data, US-imposed tariffs generated $287 billion in customs duties, taxes, and fees.
Trump established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) via executive order, aiming to cut costs within the federal government. After just 10 months, DOGE eliminated at least 317,000 federal jobs, shut down DEI offices, reduced the Department of Education’s projects, and ceased operations of the US Agency on International Development.
Trump has visited 13 countries during his second term, often combining business deals with international diplomacy. His administration has attacked at least seven countries since taking office, including Venezuela.
