Donald Trump promises seismic change after a historic comeback
1Description
By any measure, it’s a historic comeback: From two impeachments and electoral defeat in 2020, to felony convictions and conspiracy charges, to a decisive victory early this morning. Donald Trump's reelection is the first time in two decades a Republican has won the popular vote. His party is also likely to control both houses of Congress. The results underscore a major re-alignment of the American political landscape. Trump’s ambitious agenda includes ending the war in Ukraine, imposing tariffs on imports, and mass deportations. And that’s just on day one. His election sent the US dollar surging. Canada is already pushing for exemptions from those tariffs, and launching a charm offensive to keep trade relations sweet. People in Ukraine and the Middle East worry how Trump’s ascendancy will affect the wars where they are.
