What are Donald Trump's plans as president?

Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States.

He won November's US presidential election meaning he will be president for a second time, after his first term in office from 2017-2021.

That term in office ended with Donald Trump losing the election to current President Biden.

Joe Biden remains in charge until Donald Trump officially takes over the role again on 20 January, at a ceremony called the inauguration.

The ceremony will take place indoors for the first time in 40 years due to the extreme cold weather in Washington DC. Temperatures are expected to hit a low of -11C (12F).

So what can we expect from the returning president?

Who is Donald Trump?

In January, Donald Trump will once again enter the White House.

The businessman, reality TV star and, of course, former US president has been re-elected to the top job and will be officially confirmed on Monday 20 January.

He won because he made promises on lots of big things that matter to lots of Americans, saying he would tackle the cost of living and stop prices rising, and cut immigration into the US.

Mr Trump's first time in charge had many controversial moments, and it ended with him refusing to accept the results of the 2020 election, and falsely claiming the election was 'stolen'.

Many people thought that Mr Trump's politics career could be over, but he has come back from legal problems to convince American voters that he is the best person to tackle the problems the country faces.

While his supporters and fans are delighted about his return, others are waiting to see what the next four years will bring.

What are Donald Trump's plans for the economy?

President-elect Trump has said all along that one of his biggest priorities is to improve the economy, to help people deal with the rising cost of living and feel like they have more money in their pockets.

He wants to bring in a number of cuts to the amount of tax people pay, worth trillions of dollars, extending the cuts he introduced when he first became president in 2017.

He also says he wants to protect US industry, boost businesses in the country and encourage Americans to buy American goods, by putting taxes on goods from abroad - called tariffs.

A new 10-20% tariff has been proposed on most imported foreign goods, and much higher ones on goods from China.

BBC Economics editor Faisal Islam explains that Donald Trump wants to change the global business economic map, and cut the amount of products that the US buys from China and Europe, "which he views as 'ripping off' America".

"The US is undoubtedly powerful enough to start rebalancing world trade," he added, "Push things too far though... and the US might find itself rather too isolated."

Some experts also argue that his promise to put in higher tax on imports from abroad could push prices up, though Donald Trump denies US citizens will pay more.

He has also promised to try to get companies to make more things in the US and create jobs there.

What are Donald Trump's plans on climate change?

During his first presidency, President Trump reduced environmental protections.

He took the United States out of the Paris climate agreement and has promised to do so again and scrap environmental targets, which he says will help American businesses.

Mr Trump also wants to produce US fossil fuels - he said he'd "drill, drill, drill" instead of developing more renewable energy sources such as wind power.

However, America has already taken steps to move towards renewable energy during Joe Biden's term in office, and Christiana Figueres, a former UN climate chief, told the BBC a lot of that work has come too far to be reversed completely.

"The result from this election will be seen as a major blow to global climate action. But it cannot and will not halt the changes under way."

BBC Environment correspondent Matt McGrath adds that "while the US might leave the Paris Agreement quite quickly, Trump would still be bound by other global efforts to fight climate change."

What are Donald Trump's plans for foreign policy?

President-elect Trump says he wants the US to stop getting involved in conflicts elsewhere in the world, and to put "America first".

He has previously said he wants to end the war in Ukraine “within 24 hours” - although he has given no details on how he would do that. He has also warned that he could cut, or stop, the money the US sends to support Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says Moscow is open for talks with President-elect Trump and Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky says he wants a "just peace", with assurances Russian will not start another war.

"The truth is: Trump's intentions are far from clear," says BBC diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams, adding that "to those who fear... that America's new leader is inclined to walk away from Ukraine, he offered hints of reassurance. 'You can't reach an agreement if you abandon, in my opinion,' he has said."

Elsewhere, Donald Trump has said he is a supporter of Israel and welcomed the news of a ceasefire in the fighting in Gaza ,

What has Donald Trump said about immigration?

Immigration is near the top of Donald Trump's list of priorities when he becomes president and he wants much stricter rules about who can come into America.

He has also promised the biggest deportation - or removal - of people who are in the United States illegally.

While BBC North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher says that the people he's picked for his top teams suggest his plans are no exaggeration, adding that Donald Trump's plans would likely face big legal and practical challenges, and cost billions of dollars.

In 2024, the Biden government deported more than 271,000 illegal immigrants - which was the largest number in nearly a decade, and more than the record of Donald Trump's first term in office.

Mr Trump has also said he would seal the country's southern border with Mexico by completing the building of a wall and increasing security there too.
