Donald John Trump, the 45th and 47th President of the United States, remains one of the most discussed figures in world politics. His return to the White House in January 2025 after winning the 2024 election sparked a wave of interest and debate. 

Political Career and Return to Power

Donald Trump, born on June 14, 1946, in New York, became the second president in US history to be elected to two non-consecutive terms, after Grover Cleveland. His first presidential term (2017–2021) was marked by bold decisions such as tax reform, tightening immigration policy, and an emphasis on national interests under the slogan "America First." After his defeat in the 2020 election, Trump did not leave politics, continuing to actively comment on world events and support the Republican Party. In 2024, he won the election, becoming the oldest US president at the time of taking office.

In 2025, Trump began his second term with a focus on economic reforms and foreign policy. His administration actively promotes initiatives aimed at strengthening US technological leadership, including the American AI Export Program, signed on July 23, 2025. This program is aimed at the global implementation of American artificial intelligence technologies to ensure economic growth and national security.

Foreign Policy and the Alaska Summit

One of the key events of 2025 was the Alaska summit on August 15, where Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The negotiations, held at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base, were devoted to resolving the conflict in Ukraine. Despite expectations that Trump would be able to achieve a ceasefire, no deal was reached. Sources note that the US president sought compromise, but the positions of the parties remained far apart.

After the summit, Trump intensified pressure on Ukraine, calling for the signing of a ceasefire agreement. The meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on August 18 in Washington showed that Trump insists on a trilateral format of negotiations with the participation of European leaders. The European Union, in turn, emphasizes the need for "iron security guarantees" for Ukraine.

Economic Initiatives and Trade Wars

Trump's economic policy in 2025 continues to cause controversy. The introduction of import tariffs, including 17% on Mexican tomatoes and record tariffs on Swiss goods, has led to economic shocks in these countries. Switzerland faced a threat to the production of watches, chocolate, and medicines, which local politicians called a "tsunami" and a "catastrophe." At the same time, Trump signed an order to accelerate the construction of data centers for AI, simplifying environmental reviews and issuing permits, which underscores his priority in US technological dominance.

Scandals and Public Opinion

Trump remains a figure that evokes polarized opinions. His decision to declassify FBI documents about the assassination of Martin Luther King sparked protests from the activist's relatives. In addition, his immigration policy, including the strengthening of ICE operations in New York, is criticized for mass detentions of law-abiding migrants. Polls show a decline in the approval rating of his immigration policy to 41%.

Social media actively discusses the role of Melania Trump, who, according to media reports, may have influenced her husband's position on Ukraine. Melania's letter to Vladimir Putin about the situation of children in the conflict zone sparked speculation that it was 85% composed by artificial intelligence.

Sports and Public Events

Trump actively participates in sporting events, which strengthens his public image. In July 2025, he attended the final of the FIFA Club World Cup, presenting the trophy to Chelsea players. His presence at the match, including a helicopter flyover of the stadium, became a bright media event. Trump also announced the holding of a UFC championship fight on the White House grounds in 2026, which caused heated discussions in sports circles.

Conclusion

Donald Trump in 2025 continues to shape the world agenda with his decisive actions and unconventional approach. His policies evoke both support and criticism but remain at the center of attention. From economic reforms to complex negotiations on Ukraine, Trump remains a key figure whose decisions influence global politics and economics.
