Donald Trump wins second term as US president, plans major policy shifts

Donald Trump has been elected the 47th President of the United States, returning to office after being voted out four years ago. His victory, secured with a win in Wisconsin, signals a shift in U.S. politics, with Trump promising to reshape the federal government and pursue aggressive policies against his opponents. In his second term, Trump plans to implement high tariffs on imports, reduce corporate taxes, and initiate mass deportations. He aims to act swiftly with fewer checks on his power, as many of his GOP critics have left Congress, and he has appointed numerous judges to federal courts. Internationally, Trump’s return raises concerns about his foreign policy approach, which may include increased tensions with NATO, a hardline stance on China, and continued support for Israel. Allies and adversaries alike are cautious as they anticipate the potential for instability and unpredictability in global relations.
