Whether on the economic level or on the subject of immigration, no surprise, Donald Trump bases his program on a hard line giving ultimate priority to Americans. He thus promised to work towards the relocation of businesses and industries to the United States and to launch “the largest expulsion operation” of migrants in history. A point in his program, rather unnoticed, also promises to expel certain people from the United States based on their political color. Here are five key points of the program Donald Trumpfrom the economy to the environment including the international context.
Economy: lower taxes and development of cryptocurrencies
On September 5, in New York, Donald Trump said he wanted to put an end to “communism”. “Send Comrade Harris Home to California.” A taste of his program, to say the least cash, without concession. On the economic side, the real estate magnate is considering customs duties of “more than 10%” on all imports, to finance a “large tax cut for the middle class, the upper class, the lower class, business class,” he explains. At the same time, he intends to make the United States “the world capital of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies”.
International: what impact on France and the European Union?
Since the United States Trade Act of 1974, the American president has the ability to impose quotas and tariffs up to 15% higher for 150 days on countries that have significant surpluses in their balance of payments. payments with the United States. It could therefore go further than the 10% announced so far. Enough to generate a real economic and trade war between the USA and the EU. However, this scenario still appears unlikely, particularly because the EU remains the United States’ largest trading partner.
Environment: end of regulations and abundant oil
Concerning the environment, the former President of the United States could be tempted to lift all possible regulations if he were to reach the White House. “For each new regulation, we will eliminate at least 10 old laws, and frankly we will have no trouble doing it,” he assured at the beginning of September. “I will quickly put an end to the great green scam” he has already promised in the event of a second term. “We are going to drill (for oil) like crazy” he announced to his supporters, so as to “lower energy prices very quickly”.
Immigration: “the largest expulsion operation” of migrants
On the subject of immigration, Donald Trump’s program has the merit of being clear, he wishes to launch “the largest expulsion operation” of migrants as soon as he is elected if he were to join the White House. The American billionaire also plans to “use the army” to achieve his goals in order to expel migrants, then to open new detention camps. The automatic soil right will also be canceled in the event of the election of Donald Trump, “for children born to irregular migrants”.
A law to keep “foreign communists, Marxists and socialists” out of America
Delving into the Republican candidate’s program, one point seems to stand out in particular, it is point number 4, “strict control”, of the second chapter “sealing the border and stopping the invasion of migrants”.Donald Trump plans, as stated in black and white in his platform, to use “existing federal law to keep foreign communists, Marxists and socialists who hate Christians out of America.”
Questioned on Fox News on Sunday, November 13, Donald Trump affirmed that “the National Guard”, or even “military personnel if necessary”, should be dispatched against an “enemy from within”, whom he did not name, after a question from the channel about possible “agitators” during the election. The latter assured that he wanted to repress “very bad people (…) crazy people, far-left weirdos”. The day before, in California, an elected member of the State House of Representatives, Adam Schiff, was attacked, a “scumbag” and a “sick person”, among the “worst enemies from within” .
Abortion: Trump cultivates ambiguity
Donald Trump maintains uncertainty regarding the future of abortions in the country. He does not position himself on the line of the American religious right, according to which we should promise an outright ban on abortion throughout the country through federal law. “You have to follow your soul and conscience on this issue, but don’t forget that you also have to win elections,” he said. According to Franceinfo, the Republican is trying to present himself as a defender of “reproductive rights”, an adjustment compared to his previous mandate.
