Donald Trump does not slow down the pace – his recent decisions trigger heated discussions in the United States and in the world. What changes does the President make to internal and foreign policies? We're looking at the most important facts!
Latest decisions by Donald Trump – review
Donald Trump has signed several key regulations in recent weeks that can change the daily lives of Americans and affect the global economy. The main key word – " Donald Trump's decisions" – appears here not accidentally: it is these that are at the centre of public attention today.
New Equal Opportunities Regulation
One of the loudest decisions is the signing of an implementing regulation eliminating the so-called "disparate-impact liability". This is a principle that has so far allowed courts to consider differences in outcomes between groups (e.g. racial or sexual) as a manifestation of discrimination, even without proving bad intentions. Trump argues that this approach leads to artificial equalisation of opportunities at the expense of the principle of equal treatment and individual merits.
- The regulation requires federal agencies to move away from enforcing rules based on this principle.
- The Attorney General is to amend the rules on racial discrimination.
- The goal is to return to the "American dream" – a success based on individual achievements, not group membership.
Economy and new tariffs – a revolution in trade
Another important decision by Donald Trump concerns the economy and trade policy. The President announced the introduction of a 10% import tariff from all countries, and for countries with the largest trade deficit from the US, even higher rates. This is to be a response to long-term, disadvantageous for Americans, commercial practices and attempts to rebuild the native industry.
- The tariffs are to apply until Trump considers that the threat to the American economy has been averted.
- The decision has already caused considerable confusion in the financial markets and has divided the public.
- The President argues that "we must be strong and rich – otherwise others will use us."
Social assessments and response to Trump's decisions
How do Americans judge Donald Trump's recent decisions? The polls show that opinions are strongly divided. Support for the President fell to 40%, and most of the population is critical of new tariffs and cuts in administration.
- 59% of Americans do not support tariff increases and 55% – cuts in administration.
- In turn, as many as 75% of Republicans judge Trump's actions positively.
- Immigration policy and the approach to national security enjoy the greatest confidence.
| Decision | Description | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Elimination of ‘disparate-impact liability’ | New principles of equal treatment and meritocracy | 23.04.2025 |
| Introduction of import tariffs | 10% for all countries, higher on the largest exporters | 02-09.04.2025 |
| Reform of raw material policy | Strengthening the extraction of strategic raw materials | 24.04.2025 |
Donald Trump's decisions evoke strong emotions – both among supporters and opponents. The President consistently implements election announcements, placing individual responsibility, protection of American interests and tough economic policy. Will these actions produce the expected results? Time will tell, but it can already be seen that the US is entering a new era of political and economic change.
