US Election: What does a Trump presidency look like?

Donald Trump’s journey to the White House has been paved with radical pledges. With the billionaire now set to take the highest office in the world – what will a Trump presidency look like?

‘Build a wall’

Mr Trump campaigned on the promise “to build a great, great wall on our southern border”, which he would make Mexico pay for.

Muslim ban

Shortly after the San Bernardino shooting in December last year, Donald Trump called for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States”.

Trade deals

Trump has criticised both the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, saying the latter was hurtful for Americans and American companies. He has also threatened 45 percent tariffs on goods from China.

Climate Change

The US President-elect called global warming a “hoax” and has pledged to “cancel” the Paris Climate Agreement.

Tax

The billionaire has promised the biggest tax revolution since Ronald Reagan,  saying no American business would pay more than 15 percent of their profits in tax. It currently stands at a maximum of 35 percent.
