President-elect tells a rally of supporters in Washington he will act with ‘historic speed and strength’
Donald Trump and his top advisers are finalising about 100 executive actions that he will sign in his first days in office beginning on Monday, as the incoming president rushes to enact his populist and nationalist agenda. The first measures by Trump, who has vowed to be a dictator only “on day one” of his second term, are set to include curbing immigration, increasing tariffs and deregulating sectors ranging from energy to cryptocurrencies.
But others, including his former and incoming White House trade and manufacturing counsellor Peter Navarro, are advocating for a high tariff to be applied on all US imports from day one. Trump could use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to quickly apply tariffs, and his staff are also exploring use of the existing Section 232 authorities to swiftly boost levies on steel and aluminium imports, according to people familiar with the talks.
