What is remarkable about the 100 days of Trump's presidency
On Saturday, April 29, exactly 100 days passed since the inauguration of US President Donald Trump. The new head of the White House was an unusually unpopular leader among the American population.
One of the main pre-election promises of the new American president was the fight against illegal migration. He began to implement the plan on January 25, 2017, signing a decree on the protection of borders. The main point of this document was the construction of a wall between the US and Mexico. This initiative led to a tension between the neighbors.
The most scandalous statement of Trump was the promise to close the US border for all Muslims. The new president did not start implementing it, limiting himself to the ban on the entry to the residents of Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Sudan into the country. This initiative caused chaos in airports. Later this decree was blocked.
One of the Republican's important pre-election initiatives was the normalization of relations with Moscow. In this respect, there have also been no positive developments. It is likely that the leaders of Russia and the United States will be able to come to an agreement in person at a meeting scheduled for late May.
The Trump's attempts to change Obamacare, a reform of the health care system initiated by Barack Obama, also didn't bring him popularity. Opinions about Obamacare were divided, as a result, for fear of failure, the Trump administration refused to pass a new draft to the vote of the US House of Representatives.
Last month, the US Navy attacked Syria by releasing 60 Tomahawk missiles against the Shayrat airfield. In Washington, it was believed that it was from there that a chemical attack was carried out on the city of Khan-Sheikhun, controlled by the opposition. Experts believe that the blow to Shayrat turned out to be a blow to Russian-American relations since Moscow considers Bashar Assad not guilty of a chemical attack.
