Donald Trump's second and current tenure as the president of the United States began upon his inauguration as the 47th president on January 20, 2025. Trump, a member of the Republican Party who previously served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021, took office following his victory over the incumbent U.S. vice president, Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party, in the 2024 presidential election. Alongside Trump's presidency, the Republican Party holds majorities in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate during the 119th Congress.

On his first day, Trump pardoned about 1,500 people convicted of offenses in the January 6 Capitol attack of 2021. Within his first month, he signed approximately 70 executive orders (far more than any of his recent predecessors), some of which are being challenged in court.^[1] On immigration, he signed into law the Laken Riley Act, signed executive orders blocking asylum-seekers from entry to the U.S., reinstated the national emergency at the Mexico–U.S. border, designated drug cartels as terrorist organizations, attempted to end birthright citizenship, and initiated procedures for mass deportation of immigrants. Trump established the task force "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE), led by businessman Elon Musk, which is tasked with cutting spending by the federal government, limiting bureaucracy, and which has overseen mass layoffs of civil servants. The Trump administration has also taken action against law firms.

In international affairs, Trump withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Accords. Trump initiated a trade war with Canada and Mexico and continued the ongoing trade war with China. In April 2025, Trump imposed a 10% tariff on virtually all countries and raised tariffs above 30% on countries such as China and Switzerland,^[2] surprising investors and inducing a stock market crash.^[3][4] He has repeatedly expressed interest in annexing Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal. In response to the Gaza War, he proposed an American takeover of the Gaza Strip, forcibly relocating the Palestinian population to other Arab states, and establishing Gaza as a special economic zone. Amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Trump administration temporarily suspended the provision of intelligence and military aid to Ukraine, offered concessions to Russia, requested half of Ukraine's oil and minerals as repayment for American support, and said that Ukraine bore partial responsibility for the invasion. The administration resumed the aid after Ukraine agreed to a potential ceasefire.^[5]

Trump is the second U.S. president to serve non-consecutive terms,^[a] and is the oldest person to assume the presidency. Following his victories in the 2016 and 2024 presidential elections, he is not eligible to be elected to a third term due to the provisions of the Twenty-second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
