Donald Trump, who will be inaugurated as US President on this day, is expected to issue more than 25 executive orders, Reuters reported. 

Among them are large-scale deportations of illegal immigrants, sending military troops to the southern border, 
immigration restrictions such as the abolition of citizenship for those born on US soil, 
easing regulations on fossil fuels such as oil, 
withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization (WHO), 
discharging and banning transgender soldiers, and 
pardoning 1,500 people involved in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. 

Attention is also being paid to whether a 10% universal tariff on all imported goods, a 60% tariff on Chinese products, and a 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian products will be implemented.

These measures, which Trump is expected to implement on his first day in office or early in his term, 

represent a full-scale withdrawal from the freedom, 
human rights, 
inclusive international order, and 
American engagement for these values that the United States has advocated so far. 

It is a separation from the values and international order that the United States has designed and led since World War II. 

Since Trump’s first term in office in 2017, the United States has pursued a decoupling policy to separate China from the global supply chain, and now, under Trump’s second term, it is trying to decouple itself from the world.

Trump's move to impose universal tariffs means that the US market is now a zero-sum game, not a positive-sum game for allies or the global economy.
