One of the most enduring images of Donald Trump's presidency may well be that of him standing outside St John's Church in Washington DC after peaceful protesters were tear gassed and hit by police batons to clear a way for him. Interpol later said it wouldn't consider Iran's request, meaning Trump faces no danger of arrest. In response, Iran issued an arrest warrant and asked Interpol for help in detaining Trump and dozens of others it believes carried out the killing, a local prosecutor reportedly said. In explaining his decision, Trump said there weren't enough restrictions on the theocracy's nuclear program and has since said Iran knows not to "f*** around with us".ĭuring his time as President, Trump has placed sanctions on Iran and in January ordered the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in Iraq - an operation he has hailed for eliminating a "terrorist" leader. Tensions have run high between the US and Iran after Donald Trump withdrew from former President Barack Obama's Iran nuclear deal in 2018. However, Trump's success was somewhat overshadowed by viral footage that appeared to show world leaders mocking him at the meeting. So now the US and Germany will pay the same, roughly 16 per cent of NATO's budget." "It's correct that we have now agreed a new formula for sharing those costs," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters in December. Trump was however successful in negotiating changes to NATO's defence spending so that the US would pay less. And in exactly 77 days, a Biden Administration will rejoin it. Today, the Trump Administration officially left the Paris Climate Agreement. When Trump took office, there was already about 1000km of barriers along the 3200km border. One of Trump's most outlandish promises was that he would build a wall between the US and Mexico, and that Mexico would pay for it.įour years later, parts of the wall have been replaced but only 24km of new wall has been built, according to the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). However, the ban which was due to begin on November 12 has been delayed by legal action.ĭespite this, Trump's tough stance on China may well be one of the most enduring legacies of his term.
Trump also intends to ban TikTok, pointing to its links with the Chinese government that could see user data obtained by Beijing. And early in his administration introduced steep tariffs on steel and aluminium imports to protect US producers, citing national security concerns. He has overseen an aggressive trade strategy that included commitments from Beijing to buy huge amounts of US crops.
