Since Donald Trump took office as president of the United States of America, it has become clear that the country is going to change its policy in various areas due to the repeals and decisions being taken by the magnate, leaving behind all the policies of Joe Biden’s administration.
It is clear that Trump’s second term has begun in the harshest possible way, with the Republican making it clear that, with Democratic weakness after the elections and with the full support of his party, he has free rein to carry out all his measures.
The controversial decisions of Trump at the beginning of his second term
During the seven days that Trump has been sitting in the Oval Office, controversies have followed one another every day. In the first place, the new Republican administration has highlighted the expulsion of 500 migrants from the country and has mobilized 1,500 marines on the border with Mexico. Likewise, a 25% tariff has been applied to that nation.
Another of the controversies of the new president has come after he acknowledged that during his term in office, the official policy of his government will be to recognize only two genders: “male and female”. This was not enough, as he also pardoned 23 anti-abortion activists and 1,500 people who stormed the Capitol, on that black day in US history, when five people died.
Not only that, another measure that has generated great controversy around the world has been Donald Trump’s decision to leave the World Health Organization and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
His changes of opinion have also attracted attention, as Trump was a fervent supporter of shutting down TikTok. However, after being surrounded by several leaders of these platforms, he decided to allow a 90-day extension to the social network before its closure.
He has also made controversial appointments, such as that of the defense portfolio, Pete Hegseth, who has a dark past of problems with alcohol, sexual abuse and violence against women. In addition, the Republican president has been defeated in his idea of rejecting birthright citizenship for the children of immigrants, as a federal judge has blocked the measure.
