Tens of thousands of Americans have protested against the newly elected US president in the capital, Washington, and several other cities across the country.
In Washington, American protesters, carrying banners and chanting slogans, expressed their protest against President-elect Donald Trump's policies regarding foreign immigrants and climate change.
According to a report by AP, the Americans' protest came after Donald Trump promised that he would sign an executive order to expel foreigners from the United States on his first day in the White House.
It is noted that Trump will begin the largest deportation operation in American history starting Tuesday (January 21).
According to an Indiana senator, Donald Trump plans to deport all fifteen million illegal immigrants who immigrated to the United States during Joe Biden's presidency.
Authorities in Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, and Venezuela have called future immigration policies and mass deportations of immigrants from the United States a violation of human rights and have emphasized: "All immigrants, regardless of their immigration status, have fundamental and inalienable rights."
Reuters writes that Trump's policy goals, including tax cuts, reduced regulations and announcements of increased tariffs on imported goods, have already affected prices. Doug Peta, chief strategist at BCA Research, says: "Financial markets will react to any changes that the new administration implements that differ from what was previously announced." Analysts note that as a result of statements by Donald Trump, who is preparing to take office as the 47th president of the United States, about a new trade war with Canada, Mexico and China, the country has become a destabilizing factor that can plunge a foreign friend or foe into a crisis in an instant. Trump has promised to impose high tariffs on goods imported from China, Canada and Mexico. He said these countries must do more to prevent illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs like fentanyl into the United States.
Trump’s surprise threat to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods and his announcement last month to raise existing tariffs on Chinese goods by 10% are signs that Trump is intent on showing his power as quickly as possible. The newly elected president of the United States is also preparing to tighten immigration policy and deport illegal immigrants. He announced this during the election campaign.
Implementing Trump’s promise could cause financial damage not only to the American people, but also to the country’s economy. Trump has also promised to end the nearly three-year war between Russia and Ukraine and to put pressure on NATO allies, which spend less than 2% of their GDP on defense. He said that otherwise, these countries would be left without American aid in the event of an attack.
