On Friday, America will be waving good-bye to Present Obama as President-Elect Donald Trump swears into office. Here's what to expect from the Trump Administration...
Trade- Trump wants to renegotiate NAFTA ('90s trade deal between the US, Canada, and Mexico). Then he wants to pull out of the TPP. That’s the trade deal between the US and 11 other Pacific Rim countries.
Energy- Trump plans to 'exnay' a bunch of federal rules on US energy production including oil, gas, and coal put in place to fight climate change. He’s said he’ll also make it easier for oil pipelines to move forward. Trump says this would boost job creation.
Lobbying Ban- Trump's calling for a five year-ban on White House and Congressional staffers taking lobbying jobs after they leave. He also wants a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying for foreign governments.
Supreme Court- as in there’s been a job opening on the bench for almost a year, and Trump’s ready to fill it. A list of right- leaning names have been mentioned for the position.
Immigration- Trump will move to “cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities” – aka cities that allow undocumented immigrants to stay without fear of being prosecuted or deported. He’s also said he’ll start deporting about two million undocumented immigrants with criminal records. And that he’ll hit ‘pause’ on immigration from regions with a history of terrorism that do not vet people coming into the US.
Obamacare- as in repeal and replace. Still working on the replace part.
