US President Donald Trump began his second term in January 2025 with an ambitious domestic and international agenda.
The Republican billionaire's return to the White House has been characterised by domestic upheaval and active international diplomacy. His controversial positions on tariffs, immigration, policing and slashing the federal workforce continue to fuel debate in the United States.

His supporters praise his impetuous approach to governing while critics question the discernment, and even the legality, underpinning many of his policies.
