The 5 biggest items on Donald Trump's agenda

  • 7 years ago
Energy: Trump has said he would withdraw Barack Obama’s signature policy to address climate change, a rule that cuts power-plant carbon emissions. The rule already has faced legal challenges and has been temporarily blocked by the Supreme Court. Choosing a Supreme Court nominee: Trump says he will announce a Supreme Court nomination within two weeks of taking office and will aim to restore a conservative majority on the closely divided bench. Veterans Affairs: Trump and his nominee for the secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, David Shulkin, indicated a commitment to move the department toward a public-private model. The hope is to give veterans access to private hospitals as well. Immigration reform: Trump is set to make significant changes to a program that gives temporary work permits and safe harbor from deportation to about 750,000 young people brought to the U.S. illegally as children. Repealing Obamacare: The repeal of the Affordable Care Act has been at the forefront of Trump's agenda and his party has already begun on the repeal, and potential replacement.
