On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump presented a detailed plan of his 'America First' priorities.
The agenda consists of significant initiatives focused on bolstering national security, achieving energy independence, improving government efficiency, and upholding traditional American values.
Make America Safe Again

The administration plans to use the Armed Forces, including the National Guard, to strengthen border security, treating it as a national security priority.
President Trump also announced intentions to designate cartels, like the Tren de Aragua, as foreign terrorist organizations and apply the Alien Enemies Act to facilitate their removal.
The Department of Justice will pursue the death penalty for atrocious crimes against humanity, such as the killing of law enforcement officers and violent crimes by illegal immigrants.

All government agencies will implement emergency measures to reduce living costs, and a new 'America First Trade Policy' will aim to protect American businesses by reducing reliance on foreign organizations for tax policy.
