Trump plans a sweeping deportation program for undocumented migrants, declaring a border emergency and challenging birthright citizenship.
He vows to initiate trade wars by imposing significant tariffs on goods from Mexico, Canada (25%), and China (10%) to address trade imbalances and border security.
Culturally, Trump aims to restrict transgender rights, mandate only two recognized genders, and cut federal funding for schools adopting 'critical race theory'.
Other major promises include pardoning January 6 Capitol rioters, aggressively expanding fossil fuel drilling ('drill, baby, drill'), and swiftly ending the war in Ukraine.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
