Donald Trump's second and current tenure as the president of the United States began upon his inauguration as the 47th president on January 20, 2025.

Trump, a member of the Republican Party who previously served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021, took office after defeating the Democratic incumbent vice president Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. He is the second U.S. president to serve two non-consecutive terms,^[a] as well as the first convicted felon to become president. At 78 years old, Trump became the oldest person to assume the presidency, a record he held during his first presidency (as had Joe Biden).

The first few months of his presidency consisted of issuing multiple executive orders, many of which are being challenged in court.^[1] On immigration, he signed the Laken Riley Act into law, and issued executive orders blocking illegal immigrants from entering the US, reinstating the national emergency at the Mexico–U.S. border, designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations, attempting to end birthright citizenship, and initiating procedures for mass deportation of immigrants. Trump established a task force known as the Deparment of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is tasked with reducing spending by the federal government and limiting bureaucracy, which has overseen mass layoffs of civil servants. The Trump administration has taken action against law firms for challenging Trump's executive orders and policies.

Trump's second presidency has overseen a series of tariff increases^[2] and pauses,^[3] which has led to retaliatory tariffs placed on the U.S. by other countries.^[4] These tariff moves, particularly the "Liberation Day" tariffs,^[5] and counter-moves caused a brief stock market crash.

In international affairs, Trump has further strengthened U.S. ties with Israel. He authorized strikes that attacked several Iranian nuclear facilities, aiding Israel in the June 2025 Iran–Israel war. Amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022, the Trump administration temporarily suspended the provision of intelligence and military aid to Ukraine, offered concessions to Russia, requested half of Ukraine's oil and minerals as repayment for American support, and said that Ukraine bore partial responsibility for the invasion. The administration resumed the aid after Ukraine agreed to a potential ceasefire.^[6] Like in his first presidency, Trump initiated the withdrawal of the U.S. from the World Health Organization, the Paris Climate Accords, and UNESCO.^[7]

Following his election victories in 2016 and 2024, he is not eligible to be elected to a third term due to the provisions of the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Trump has suggested before and during this term that there are ways to circumvent that prohibition.
