After being elected, the newly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced a strict stance against illegal immigrants. He says he has no choice but to extradite people who are not legally allowed to be in the United States.
In an interview given to NBC News, he also said, ‘how much it will cost to return the immigrants is not a big question. We really have no choice. Illegal immigrants have killed people, drug dealers have destroyed the country. Now they can’t stay in the United States, they have to go back to their country.’
The new US administration is able to move ahead with the extradition plan, the BBC said, but it would require the authorities to carry out a huge, costly operation. Experts say it would cost billions of dollars to deport every million people.
In his first interview since his November 5 election victory, Trump said his first priority would be to “strengthen” the border. He said one of the reasons for his victory was the immigration policy.
Six of the seven swing states in the US have gone Republican so far this election. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Nevada all transitioned from blue to red.
Trump’s victory in Nevada is another blow to the battered Democratic Party. Among the seven battleground states, Arizona’s results have yet to be announced. Kamla Harris did not win any of the rest.
The final result of the House of Representatives of the unified government
is yet to be released. But Trump’s Republicans are well ahead. The party has already captured the White House and the Senate. Now if they win the House of Representatives they will be able to form a ‘Unified Government’. It will make it easier to implement the agenda of Trump and the Republican Party.
However, it is not unusual in the United States for a president to control the legislative and executive branches of government for the first two years. Congress may lose control later in the mid-term elections.
During Biden’s term, Democrats ran a unified government from 2021 to 2022 that helped them pass major bills, including anti-inflation legislation.
Republicans controlled all three by the end of Trump’s first term. As a result, he was able to easily pass various measures including tax cuts. 218 seats are required for a majority in the 435-seat House of Representatives. Republicans have already secured 211 wins. Results not published yet 24. Democrats won 200.
White House gets first female chief of staff
Donald Trump has chosen Susie Wills, his senior campaign adviser, as White House chief of staff. Trump announced Susie, 67, on Thursday. She is the first female White House Chief of Staff. He first announced the name of an employee in preparation for his return to the White House on January 20.
The White House Chief of Staff plays an important role in the administration of the President. He is also responsible for the overall management of the White House staff. Apart from this, besides fixing the daily program of the President, he maintains communication with government departments and legislators.
Some new names have been discussed around the newly elected president. Who can play important roles in his cabinet, White House and government.
Kennedy Jr., a nephew of former President John F. Kennedy and an environmental lawyer by profession, may be tasked with public health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Apart from this, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, may be tasked with reforming the bureaucracy. Mike Pompeo, who served as Trump’s late secretary of state, may be named defense secretary.
Trump’s praise Putin
Although the leaders of almost all countries of the world congratulated Trump long ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin remained silent. In the end, he also congratulated Trump. He also said that Moscow is ready to sit in dialogue with the new US president-elect.
In his first public speech since Trump’s victory on Thursday, Putin said he showed true courage when he attempted to assassinate Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania last July. Putin praised Trump at the Valdai Discussion Club in the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi.
