As Donald Trump returns to the presidency for a second term in 2025, his policy agenda remains a subject of considerable interest and debate. Drawing from his previous tenure and evolving political landscape, Trump’s proposed policies focus on immigration, the economy, national security, and restoring what he calls “American greatness.”
One of Trump’s main promises for a second term is to continue his tough stance on immigration. He has vowed to complete the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, implement stronger enforcement measures against illegal immigration, and prioritize the deportation of undocumented individuals.
To say Trump has made his stance on Roe vs Wade foggy would be an understatement however his latest stance has been to have abortion access be a state issue, not a national one. Earlier in his career, he had been instant on a nationwide ban, either for all abortions or just ones after 15 weeks.
Trump’s “America First” foreign policy, which prioritizes U.S. interests, would likely continue in a second term. This could include further withdrawal from international agreements deemed “unfavorable” to the U.S., such as climate accords or trade deals. Trump is expected to push for more tariffs on countries like China, seeking to reduce trade deficits and bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. National security would also remain a key priority, with Trump pledging to maintain a strong military presence abroad while focusing on reducing U.S. troop involvement in foreign conflicts for the “safety” of America.
Lastly, Trump’s administration would likely place a heavy emphasis on American energy independence, seeking to expand domestic oil and gas production and limit environmental regulations.
Overall, Trump’s second-term policies would largely build on the foundation of his first term, with an emphasis on nationalism, economic growth, and securing American borders. However, his proposals continue to generate polarized opinions, with supporters lauding his America-first approach and critics raising concerns about the long-term impacts of his policies.
