Review of Trump’s Key Policy Initiatives One Year Into Second Term

Trump’s administration launched bold policies including military actions, diplomatic pressures, and a $175 billion space missile defense plan aiming for 2029 completion, officials said.

  • President Donald Trump spent his first year back advancing unconventional policies and testing institutional checks, while the Boeing 747 from Qatar for Air Force One is being retrofitted in Texas.
  • After toppling Venezuela's leader, Trump renewed calls to take over Greenland, tapped Gov. Jeff Landry as envoy, pressured China and Panama over Panama Canal, and pushed the Golden Dome missile defense.
  • On immigration and investor programs, the president pledged to send up to 30,000 migrants to U.S. Navy detention at Guantanamo, and about 500 were held between February and June, the administration said.
  • After the Kennedy Center board vote in December, show cancellations and a lawsuit followed, as the John F. Kennedy Center requires U.S. Congress approval to rename the venue.
  • With costly projects stretching out, the Qatari Boeing 747 retrofit for Air Force One in Texas may exceed $400 million and finish after Trump leaves office, while defense officials expect only initial Golden Dome missile defense capability by 2029.
