Donald Trump's first 100 days of presidency brought a series of dynamic changes and ambitious decisions. What successes can the new-old President of the United States write on his account? We are looking at the most important achievements and directions for the next months.
New jobs and investment – plus economy
Donald Trump began his term with a strong blow in the economy. In the first 100 days, as many as 177,000 new jobs were created, and the largest global companies announced massive investments in the US. Examples:
- IBM: $150 billion for development and production in the US
- Pratt Industries: $5 billion and 5,000 new jobs
- Merck & Co.: $1 billion for a modern biological factory in Delaware
- Kimberly-Clark, Amgen, Corning – another billion for the development of American plants
This is the result of a policy of supporting domestic production and tax incentives that attract capital from abroad.
Security and public order
Trump has consistently implemented its security promises. In the first 100 days:
- Strengthened border protection and continued to fight illegal migration
- He signed regulations to protect Americans from illegal immigration crime
- Strengthened the powers of local services to fight crime
Energy and lower life costs
The president's betting on energy and lower bills for citizens. He introduced:
- Facilitation of energy production in the US and abolition of part of environmental restrictions
- He agreed to cheaper fuels with more ethanol
- He launched multi-billion-dollar energy projects, like LNG for $17.5 billion
Reform of administration and savings
Trump announced a budget to save $163 billion through cuts in inefficient spending. He abolished funding for NPR and PBS from taxpayers' money and appointed FEMA Review Council to reform the disaster response system.
Trump's 100-day presidency is a time of intense action that is already bearing fruit in the economy, security and everyday lives of Americans. The President announces that the next months will be equally dynamic, and his policy is to ensure further growth, security and independence of the US.
For many Americans it is a signal that "America is back in play" – with new energy, investment and courageous decisions.
