WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump began his first days in office after Friday's inauguration, but he has to tackle a number of issues that experts say will be especially challenging.
Those issues range from boosting jobs to foreign policy to fixing the nation's broken immigration system.
"Much of Trump's agenda in the first 100 days will be focused on his campaign promises. That'll include a greater emphasis on keeping jobs and jobs growth as well as infrastructure spending, energy production, and cutting government regulation," Dan Mahaffee, an analyst with the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress, told Xinhua.
Indeed, in recent weeks before Trump even took office, he threatened a few U.S. manufacturers with stiff border taxes if they build factories in neighboring Mexico. In response, a few companies canceled plans to construct those facilities overseas, in favor of some expansion within the United States.
Brookings Institution senior fellow Darrell West told Xinhua that Trump wants U.S. companies to keep their jobs in the country and not send them abroad, by threatening to impose a border tax on companies that ship jobs overseas. But House Speaker Paul Ryan is opposed to that.
