As President Donald Trump’s second term kicks off, global observers are scrambling to decode his next moves. From Day 1 executive orders to bold claims about reshaping U.S. trade policy, here’s what young professionals, entrepreneurs, and news enthusiasts need to know.
Executive Actions & Economic Fireworks
Trump rolled up his sleeves on inauguration day, signing orders to tighten borders, reverse environmental protections, and end remote work for federal employees. But the real bombshell? His pledge to impose tariffs as high as 60% on China and other nations, citing “unfair trade practices.” While specifics remain fuzzy, the proposed External Revenue Service could reshape global supply chains—and your wallet.
TikTok’s Plot Twist
In a surprise move, Trump blocked Congress’ push to ban TikTok unless sold to a U.S. buyer. Instead, he floated a U.S.-China joint venture model—a lifeline for 170 million American users . This decision defies anti-China hawks in his own party, sparking whispers of a pragmatic streak beneath the tough talk.
