7 things Donald Trump says he will do as president

New York: Donald Trump is set to return to the White House, having promised action on issues including immigration, the economy, and the war in Ukraine, media reports said on Thursday.

He looks likely to enjoy plenty of support for his political agenda in Congress after his Republican Party regained control of the Senate, the BBC reported.

In his victory speech, Trump vowed he would "govern by a simple motto: Promises made, promises kept. We're going to keep our promises."

But in some cases, he has given little detail of how he might achieve his aims.

According to a BBC report, Trump promised the biggest mass deportations of undocumented migrants in US history while campaigning. He also pledged to complete the building of a wall at the border with Mexico that was started during his first presidency.

Trump has promised to "end inflation," which rose to high levels under President Joe Biden before falling again. But a president's power to directly influence prices is limited.

He has also promised sweeping tax cuts, extending his overhaul from 2017. He has proposed making tips tax-free, abolishing tax on social security payments, and shaving corporation tax, the report said.

During his first presidency, Trump rolled back hundreds of environmental protections and made America the first nation to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.

Trump has criticised the tens of billions of dollars spent by the US on supporting Ukraine in its war with Russia and has pledged to end the conflict "within 24 hours" through a negotiated deal.

Against the wishes of some of his supporters, Trump said during the presidential debate with Kamala Harris that he would not sign into law a national abortion ban, the report said.

Trump has said he will "free" some of those convicted of offences during the riot in Washington, DC on 6 January 2021, when his supporters stormed the Capitol building in an effort to thwart the 2020 election victory of Joe Biden.

Trump has vowed to sack "within two seconds" of taking office the veteran prosecutor leading two criminal investigations against him.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has indicted Trump over alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and over his alleged mishandling of classified documents.
