(State Dept.)
In his first year, President Trump has prioritized national security, economic growth, and global leadership.
The Trump Administration has kept America safe by revoking 100,000 visas from foreign nationals and signing seven Safe Third Country agreements to speed deportations. To combat drug cartels and the opioid crisis, the administration designated eight major cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, empowering law enforcement, and leading to thousands of arrests.
The Trump Administration has kept America strong by capturing outlawed dictator and narcoterrorist Nicolás Maduro. In addition, the administration has designated Muslim Brotherhood chapters and radical Antifa groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
The administration also responded rapidly to natural disasters, delivering humanitarian aid to the Caribbean after Hurricane Melissa. The U.S. expanded liquefied natural gas exports to dozens of countries and is on track to double LNG production capacity by 2029, strengthening global energy security.
Internationally, President Trump brokered eight historic peace agreements and implemented President Trump’s Peace Plan in Gaza.
At the June 2025 NATO Summit, allies agreed to double defense spending targets, significantly increasing NATO’s resources and enhancing its ability to deter conflict.

At The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, President Trump signed and ratified the Board of Peace charter on January 22, officially making it an international organization. The Board of Peace will oversee Gaza’s transition from conflict to peace.
"Together we are in a position to have an incredible chance ... to end decades of suffering, stop generations of hatred and bloodshed, and forge a beautiful, everlasting, and glorious peace for that region,” said President Trump at the Board of Peace Charter Announcement.
Chaired by President Trump, the Board’s Executive Board includes leaders in diplomacy, development, and economic strategy, each managing key portfolios for Gaza’s stabilization.
"This is a group of leaders that are about action and the President of the United States is a president of action, of getting things done,” said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, “and today is the beginning of that, of a new era and a new stage we think is so important as a model to the rest of the world of what is possible."

President Trump delivered a major address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he reaffirmed America’s leadership and the importance of its relationship with Europe.
Following his speech, President Trump held a bilateral meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on the sidelines of the forum, after which the President announced a “framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and… the entire Arctic Region.”
The President emphasized that the deal will be good for the United States and all NATO nations.
President Trump announced January 22 that the United States would be bidding for the World Expo 2035 to be held in Florida.
The World Expo is a once-every-five-year event that brings together nations, private sector leaders, and policymakers to foster international cooperation on trade, investment, and cultural exchange.
"Miami Expo 2035 can be the next big milestone in our new Golden Age of America," President Trump said in a Truth Social post.
To advance the bid, President Trump appointed Miami native Secretary Rubio to coordinate with international partners and prospective host city stakeholders to advance the bid, and reinforce the U.S. commitment to global leadership.
