In just 100 days since his return to the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump has upended both foreign and domestic policy.
Since assuming office again in January, Trump has transformed the Oval Office into a stage for an unprecedented series of dramatic events that have significantly impacted international alliances, global markets, and major regional files.

Here are the key milestones from the first 100 days of the Republican president’s second term:

1. Executive Orders on Day One

On January 20, Trump signed 26 executive orders, a record number for an inauguration day.
Key actions included:

Withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization.

Pardoning rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in early 2021.

2. "The Riviera of the Middle East"

On February 4, during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

Trump unveiled a plan for U.S. control over Gaza and its reconstruction.

He proposed relocating Gaza’s population to other countries, particularly Egypt and Jordan.

The proposal sparked widespread Arab and international condemnation.

3. Musk in the Oval Office

On February 12:

Elon Musk appeared alongside Trump at a press conference to oversee a newly created federal cost-cutting agency.

Musk faced criticism for transparency issues and potential conflicts of interest, as his son "X" played in the background.

4. Renewing Contact with Putin

On February 12:

Trump held a 90-minute phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A second call followed on February 28, leading to a series of meetings aimed at negotiating a settlement to the Ukraine war.

5. U.S.–Russia Summit in Riyadh

Riyadh hosted a summit between Trump and Putin at the historic Diriyah Palace.

Discussions focused heavily on the Ukraine conflict, with both sides describing the talks as "positive and constructive."

6. Reining in Zelensky

On February 28:

Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance launched a sharp verbal attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing him of ingratitude for U.S. support.

The incident sparked strong reactions within the U.S. Congress.

7. Indirect Negotiations with Iran

These talks came after Trump’s unilateral withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement.

8. Vance Stuns Europeans

His speech signaled a significant shift away from traditional U.S. commitments to transatlantic alliances.

Funding was slashed due to alleged tolerance of antisemitism on campuses.

10. Mass Deportations to El Salvador

The move triggered lawsuits against the Trump administration that reached the U.S. Supreme Court.

On March 26:

Trump reiterated his call for the United States to acquire Greenland for strategic security reasons.

The proposal faced fierce criticism from Denmark.

12. Trade Tariff War

On April 2:

Although most tariffs were temporarily suspended for some nations, China remained targeted with a steep 145% increase.

The move triggered market turmoil, a surge in gold prices, and a fall in the dollar.

✍️ Analytical Commentary:

In just 100 days, Trump has redrawn the map of global alliances,
proving that his return to the Oval Office is not merely a second term, but part of a broader blueprint to rewrite the rules of international order.

From reinforcing the "America First" doctrine to reshaping the geopolitical landscape, Trump is steering the United States into a new era marked by bold moves, high-stakes risks, and a reshuffling of global dynamics.
