Donald Trump will return to the White House. He has promised a number of things related to immigrants, the economy and the war in Ukraine.

It also looks like Trump will have a lot of support for his political agenda in Congress after the Republican Party regained control of the Senate. In his victory speech Trump vowed that his administration will have only one simple motto: Promises made, will be kept.

"We will keep our promises", he said.

But in some cases he has not given many details on how he intends to achieve his goals.

But what are the 7 things Trump says he will do as president?

Deportation of illegal immigrants

During the campaign, Trump promised the largest deportation of undocumented immigrants in US history. He also vowed to complete the construction of the wall on the border with Mexico, which he started during his first presidency.

The number of illegal immigrants crossing the US southern border reached record levels late last year during the Biden-Harris administration. Experts say the large-scale deportations promised by Trump could face legal and logistical problems and could halt economic growth.

Movement in the economy, taxes and fees

Polls showed that a major reason for voters to decide between the candidates was the economy. Trump promised to put an end to inflation that reached sky-high levels under President Joe Biden. But a president's power to influence prices is limited.

He also promised tax cuts. It also provides for the municipality to make them tax-free, to remove taxes for social security payments and that of corporations.

Trump proposes new tariffs of at least 10% on most foreign goods to stop the trade deficit. Imports from China may incur a 60% surcharge. Some economists warn that such moves could raise prices for ordinary people.

Disruption of climate regulations

During Trump's first presidency, he rolled back hundreds of environmental protection regulations and made America the first nation to withdraw from the Paris climate accord.

Once again, he promises to cut some rules to help the American auto industry. Trump has consistently attacked electric vehicles and promised to shoot down Biden's goals to encourage the shift to cleaner cars.

Trump also pledged to increase fuel production in the US. He wants to drill in the Arctic for oil, which he argues will lower energy costs. However, analysts are skeptical about this.

The end of the Ukrainian war

Trump is against sending billions of dollars to support Ukraine in its war with Russia. For this reason, the promise, perhaps the most sensational in the international arena, is that it will end the war "within 24 hours" through a negotiated agreement.

He did not say what each side would have to give up. Democrats say the move would embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump wants the US to disengage from foreign conflicts in general. Regarding the war in Gaza, Trump positioned himself as a staunch supporter of Israel, but has asked his ally to end the operation.

He also promises to end the violence in Lebanon, but he has not shown how.

There is no ban on abortion

Although against the wishes of many of his supporters, Trump said during the presidential debate with Kamala Harris that he would not sign a national law banning abortion.

We recall that in 2022 the constitutional right to abortion was overturned by the Supreme Court, part of which was the conservative majority as a result of Trump's first presidency.

For this reason reproductive rights became one of the main themes of the campaign for Harris. For Trump, states should be free to set their own abortion laws.

He will pardon some protesters of January 6

Trump has said that he will release some of those convicted for the riots of January 6, 2021, when his supporters entered the Capitol building to prevent Joe Biden from taking power.

Because of the violence that Trump is accused of instigating, several people lost their lives. He has spoken little of the importance of the riots and has referred to the prisoners on the issue as political prisoners.

He goes on to say that many of them were wrongly imprisoned although he admits that some of them probably got out of hand.

It will remove the special prosecutor, Jack Smith

Trump vows to quit "within seconds" once he takes over as the veteran prosecutor leading two criminal investigations against him.

Special counsel Jack Smith has been investigating Trump over alleged efforts to subvert the 2020 election and withholding classified documents.

Trump denies the allegations and has managed to stop these cases from going to trial before the election. He says Smith has made him the subject of a "political witch hunt".

As never before, Trump will return to the White House with a criminal conviction after being found guilty in New York of falsifying his business records.
