Trump’s First 100 Days: Defining Priorities and Economic Strategies

In his first 100 days of a second term, President Trump has reiterated his top priorities—focusing on taxes and budget, trade, border and immigration security, retribution against the so-called 'deep state,' and recalibrating foreign policy. A major element of his agenda is the negotiation of a multitrillion-dollar fiscal policy package designed to extend the 2017 tax cuts, with proposals for additional reductions and potential spending cuts.
Recent moves underscore his commitment to these areas. For example, on April 2 and 3, 2025, several media outlets reported on new tariff measures that reflect a more assertive stance on trade, including escalated tariffs on Chinese goods. Meanwhile, economic analysts note that these initiatives—coupled with stringent immigration policies and efforts to overhaul bureaucratic structures—are part of a broader strategy to reshape U.S. policy both domestically and internationally.
