Donald Trump

The Republican billionaire's return to the White House has been characterised by domestic upheaval and active international diplomacy. His controversial positions on tariffs, immigration, policing and slashing the federal workforce continue to fuel debate in the United States.

But Trump's influence extends far beyond US borders, with his statements regularly impacting currency markets and global relations. Financial markets closely monitor his decisions, notably regarding trade policies and relations with China. His impulsive communication style, including on social media, generates constant international media coverage.

Political and legal analysts study his administration's initiatives to assess their repercussions for the United States as well as on the global stage. His supporters praise his impetuous approach to governing while critics question the discernment, and even the legality, underpinning many of his policies.
