US under second Trump era: A look at biggest political changes expected in 2025

The US is all set to see Donald Trump taking over the Oval Office as the 47th President of the nation following his January 20 inauguration. A look at Trump's promises During his campaign trail, Trump pledged to take over additional powers as president and overhaul the US government. His most prominent pledges that may get implemented in 2025 include: Mass deportation of 11 million illegal immigrants Shutting the southern border and terminating citizenship based on birthright Unprecedented taxes on commodities from all nations, but particularly China Large-scale tax breaks for businesses, tip workers, Social Security retirees, Northeastern property owners, and others Government spending to be reduced by trillions with Elon Musk's assistance Restructuring the nation's food and health systems with the aid of vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Reversing laws intended to combat climate change Building a new missile defense shield with former NFL player Herschel Walker's help Moreover, it would be interesting to see if Trump would be able to resolve Russia-Ukraine within 24 hours after coming into power -- one of his promises that hit headlines and stoked controversies. If Mike Johnson's gets re-elected as House speaker on January 3 with a razor-thin House majority, he will next have to manage a number of challenging tasks, including a debt limit deadline, another round of governmental funding on March 14, and one or possibly two significant party-line bills to forward Trump's goals on immigration, border security, energy, and tax cuts.
