Trump's 2025 Return: Tariffs, NATO, Immigration, & Nuclear Race Mark Turbulent Year

  • Trump's 2025 return to the White House was marked by five key policy shifts.
  • He implemented sweeping tariffs on international goods, including over 100% duties on China, aiming for economic nationalism.
  • Trump maintained a demanding stance on NATO, pushing European members to increase defense spending and consider a "European pillar."
  • His administration aggressively cracked down on immigration with ICE raids, stringent visa policies, and social media monitoring for applicants.
  • Foreign policy saw a reset, with Trump being milder on China and Russia, rebuilding ties with Pakistan, and pushing away India.
  • Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume testing nuclear weapons, sparking concerns about a new nuclear arms race despite clarifications on non-detonation tests.

Why It Matters: Trump's hypothetical 2025 policies could profoundly impact global stability and economy.
