Trump's first 100 days at the White House: The 25 defining moments of his return to power
TimelineThe clash with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, the 'Signalgate' scandal, tariffs: Le Monde revisits 25 notable episodes from the first 100 days of US President Donald Trump's second term in office.
Since his inauguration on January 20, US President Donald Trump has embarked on an impressive blitzkrieg on multiple fronts. He has battled against judges, universities, the United States' allies, diversity policies, the federal government and much more. His statements, whether posted on his Truth Social network, said directly to foreign leaders, or written in the executive orders he has signed at a breakneck pace, have caused many geopolitical upheavals and forced US allies to reposition themselves.
This includes moments when he has backtracked, such as on tariffs, in response to financial market panic, or when he has stubbornly held out, such as when he reiterated to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu his plan to have the US "control" the Gaza Strip, which he has claimed to want to transform into the "Riviera of the Middle East," despite many objections.

Let's revisit the 25 moments that marked the first 100 days of Trump's second term in office.
