US President Donald Trump and his administration will this week highlight the achievements of his first 100 days in office, while the focus in the next 100 days is expected to be on trade deals and peace talks, White House officials have said.
Trump has enacted sweeping changes to a wide range of U.S. domestic and foreign policy priorities since taking office on Jan. 20. He has upended the global economic order with tariffs, shrunk the federal government with job cuts and scrapped diversity programs in the public and private sectors, Reuters reports.
He has also attacked academia, law firms, and the courts.
This week, Trump plans to travel to Michigan for a rally to mark the 100-day milestone.
The White House aims to highlight its economic vision, the deportation of undocumented immigrants, changes in foreign policy and the work of billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to clean up federal bureaucracy and cut what it sees as waste.
While Trump officials praise the speed and breadth of his efforts to remake American society, critics say Trump has violated the rights of U.S. citizens and non-citizens, alienated allies and threatened American supremacy in the world.
An official who spoke on condition of anonymity said more executive action is expected in the next 100 days. He said the administration is still working on a travel ban for citizens from many countries.
The courts have blocked some of Trump's actions, drawing scorn from his allies and rebukes from the White House that those judges are thwarting the will of the head of the executive branch and the people who elected him.
While Trump will continue to battle the courts and a government bureaucracy that his team sees as too bloated and not in line with his worldview, another official has said he will focus more of his next 100 days on trade deals and peace talks.
The president has launched a full-scale trade war with multiple countries this year before imposing reciprocal tariffs. His administration hopes to secure a deal within 90 days.
Experts say that is highly unlikely, noting that Trump has yet to secure a single deal. His rhetoric about talks, particularly with China, has often been at odds with what the other country says is true.
The president will embark on a lengthy foreign trip next month, visiting Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, and will continue to push for peace in Russia's war with Ukraine.
Trump had promised to resolve that conflict on "Day One," but peace has been elusive so far.
Trump acknowledged on Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin may not want to stop the war.
