Donald Trump

President of the United States

As of April 2025, Donald Trump is serving his second, non-consecutive term as the 47th president of the United States after defeating Joe Biden in the 2024 election. His administration has enacted sweeping changes, including major staff cuts across federal agencies under the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, and rolled back diversity initiatives while pushing hardline immigration and citizenship policies—many of which have sparked legal challenges and nationwide protests. On the global stage, Trump has reignited trade tensions with China by imposing high tariffs, prompting retaliatory measures and market instability. He has also initiated nuclear talks with Iran and continues to promote his “America First” doctrine. Amid his controversial return to power, Trump remains a polarizing figure, with recent developments even including scrutiny of Wikipedia's neutrality and online censorship concerns raised by its co-founder Larry Sanger.

A YouGov poll found that 63% of Brits oppose Donald Trump being given the honour of addressing both Houses of Parliament during his State Visit, scheduled to take place later this year. Only 22% are in favour, while 15% were undecided. The opposition stems from concerns about Mr Trump's controversial actions and statements, including his clash with Volodymyr Zelensky and suggestions to annex Canada and Greenland.
