1. Trade and Tariff Policies
Tariff Reassessment: Trump is considering implementing tariffs on imports to protect domestic industries. Reports suggest he may focus on critical sectors impacting national and economic security, such as defense, medical supplies, and energy.

5. International Relations and Economic Expansion
Territorial Ambitions: Trump has expressed interest in renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and hinted at potential actions to gain control over Greenland and the Panama Canal, citing economic and strategic benefits. These statements have drawn international attention and concern.
