President Donald Trump is pursuing every limit of his executive power during his second term in the White House, at home and, increasingly, abroad.
Sworn in as the 47th president on January 20, 2025, Trump has dealt with multiple real wars. Russia and Ukraine remain an issue, as does the trajectory of Taiwan and China. More recently, Trump turned his attention to Venezuela, where, in early 2026, his administration ousted President Nicolás Maduro from power.
