Trump's policies face sharp changes and congressional resistance, progress on tax reform and immigration reform is restricted.

After a series of shocking executive actions, President Donald Trump is preparing to begin his tour of speeches, which have completely changed America's priorities in areas such as climate policy, diversity, and inclusion. However, despite Trump's full control of the start of his second term, he still needs the help of others to move forward with his reshaping of Washington's plans. While the Republican Party narrowly controls the House and Senate, they have not reached a consensus on how to push forward Trump's ambitious plans through Congress. On the third day in office, Trump will be interviewed by Fox News host Sean Hannity in the Oval Office, with the interview set to air on Wednesday evening in the Asian market time slot. It has been reported that Trump also plans to meet with a group of moderate Republican lawmakers on the same day. On Tuesday, Trump met with Republican leaders of the House and Senate to discuss the direction of advancing his priorities, but they failed to reach an agreement on how to move forward with his signature tax plan as well as key policies on immigration and energy. Senate Republicans hope to prioritize a large bill covering immigration and energy to quickly bring a victory to the president, followed by a second bill addressing tax reform. However, House Republicans prefer to craft a comprehensive bill that integrates all of Trump's priorities to ensure smooth passage through Congress. In recent years, congressional Republicans have struggled to unite, especially in the House. In 2023, Kevin McCarthy was elected as Speaker with a 15-vote advantage, but was ousted after only 10 months. Mike Johnson was then chosen by Republican members, but he has been in an unstable majority position. Earlier this month, Johnson even needed Trump's last-minute intervention to retain his position. On Tuesday evening, Hannity attended a program with House Republican leaders and members in the Capitol, urging them repeatedly to fully support Trump's agenda, emphasizing the importance of unity and reminding them that no member will get everything they want. Johnson told Hannity that a bill aimed at advancing Trump's tax agenda, extending his first term tax cuts, and fulfilling campaign promises could be completed by April and passed before the Memorial Day holiday in May. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, after meeting with the president on Tuesday, said, "We've had many caucus briefings and have been discussing this with President Trump." He added, "As we contemplate the best path to success, ensuring border security, lowering energy costs, saving tax policies, avoiding tax hikes - all the things we want to do, what is the best way? The only area we don't have a division on is what should be included in the overall package. We are all talking about the same things." While there is optimism about passing Trump's legislative agenda, there is still no consensus on the specific implementation path. In addition, in recent years, Republicans have even needed the support of Democrats to complete the most basic legislative tasks, such as funding the government or raising the debt ceiling. House Republicans can only afford to lose one vote, while the Senate can only afford three defections. "In the end, we will get it done," Republican Representative Tom Emmer of Minnesota told Hannity, saying his duty is to secure House Republican votes for bills implementing Trump's agenda. "We cannot fail." Meanwhile, Trump is preparing to visit North Carolina and Los Angeles. The visit to Los Angeles will give Trump a chance to challenge California Governor Gavin Newsom, his biggest political opponent at the start of his term. Trump plans to visit North Carolina on Friday to assess the aftermath of Hurricane Helen and then head to California to survey the damage caused by the Los Angeles wildfires. Trump and Newsom have clashed multiple times over the handling of California fires, including water use, preparedness, and the state's response measures. In his inaugural speech, Trump said that Los Angeles fires happened "without any defensive measures being taken." Newsom later released a statement on Tuesday evening refuting Trump's remarks as "nonsensical and insulting," accompanied by photos of firefighters extinguishing the fires. Newsom also said, "I look forward to President Trump's visit to Los Angeles and mobilizing the full force of the federal government to help our fellow Americans recover and rebuild." Newsom has also had disputes with conservative members of Congress over federal assistance to California. He insists that aid should be provided unconditionally, while Republicans like Johnson suggest attaching conditions, including requiring California to change its water resource policies and fire mitigation strategies. Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday, "We will handle the situation in Los Angeles. I'm going to North Carolina, a state that has been abandoned by the Democrats." Additionally, Trump will also visit swing state Nevada, where he won in the 2024 presidential election, to "thank" them for their support. This visit will mark the end of a busy week for Trump. Advisers and allies say that Trump is very conscious of how to begin his second term when he returns to politics. He is trying to demonstrate his efficiency as a leader and form a stark contrast with former President Joe Biden. During his term, Biden typically held one or two public events per day. Many of Trump's aides hope that his legacy will be comparable to that of the late President Ronald Reagan. The Trump team has always planned to push forward a legislative agenda at a dizzying pace during the first two years in office, with Republicans controlling the White House, Senate, and House. They say that after winning all seven swing states in the 2024 election and expanding the Republican voter base, they have become more bold and confident. Trump told reporters that he may impose tariffs on countries like Mexico and Canada as early as February 1. The day before, Trump's threat of a 25% tariff caused the Canadian dollar to drop to its lowest level in nearly five years. Despite his remarks causing currency markets to go into disarray during impromptu press conferences at the White House, Trump seems unfazed. Overall, despite a strong start to Trump's second term, his presidency still faces some challenges. Although he recently ordered federal agencies to study lowering consumer costs, the United States is still divided over how to move forward with Trump's legislative agenda.The stubborn inflation is still difficult to contain.Furthermore, despite Israel and Hamas reaching a six-week ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, Russia continues to bombard Ukrainian cities every night, with little indication that the Russian leadership supports the ceasefire negotiations as claimed by Trump. Trump stated that he plans to have a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon, and hinted that if Putin does not participate in negotiations on the Ukraine issue, he may impose more sanctions on Russia. It has been reported that Trump's representatives have not yet contacted the Kremlin about the potential meeting.
