Donald Trump is not slowing down, and his latest decisions are sparking heated debate in the United States and around the world. What changes is the president making in domestic and foreign policy? We check the key facts!
Donald Trump's Latest Decisions – An Overview
In recent weeks, Donald Trump has signed several key executive orders that could change the daily lives of Americans and affect the global economy. The main keyword – “Donald Trump’s decisions” – appears here for a reason: these are what currently sit at the center of public attention.
New Order on Equal Opportunity
One of the most widely discussed decisions is the signing of an executive order eliminating so-called “disparate-impact liability”. This is a principle that until now allowed courts to treat differences in outcomes between groups (e.g. racial or gender groups) as evidence of discrimination, even without proof of discriminatory intent. Trump argues that such an approach leads to artificial equalization of opportunities at the expense of the principle of equal treatment and individual merit.
- The order requires federal agencies to stop enforcing regulations based on this principle.
- The Attorney General is to change regulations concerning racial discrimination.
- The goal is a return to the “American dream” – success based on individual achievement rather than group membership.
Economy and New Tariffs – A Revolution in Trade
Another significant decision by Donald Trump concerns the economy and trade policy. The president announced a 10% tariff on imports from all countries, and even higher rates for countries with the largest trade deficits with the US. This is meant as a response to long-standing trade practices that are unfavorable to Americans, and as an attempt to rebuild the domestic industry.
- The tariffs are to remain in force until Trump determines that the threat to the American economy has been averted.
- The decision has already caused major turbulence in financial markets and divided public opinion.
- The president argues that “we must be strong and rich – otherwise others will take advantage of us”.
Public Opinion and Reactions to Trump's Decisions
How do Americans assess Donald Trump’s latest decisions? Polls show that opinions are sharply divided. Support for the president has fallen to 40%, and most of society views the new tariffs and cuts in the administration critically.
- 59% of Americans do not support the tariff increases, and 55% oppose cuts in the administration.
- Meanwhile, as many as 75% of Republicans view Trump’s actions positively.
- The greatest trust is enjoyed by his immigration policy and approach to national security.
