United States (US) President-elect Donald Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to tough immigration policies and global financial accountability, signalling major shifts in the American country鈥檚 policy post-election.

Trump was declared President-elect in the Presidential Election held November 2024, trouncing his closest rival, Vice-President Kamala Harris, to return to the White House, in Washington, D.C., January 20, 2025.

Again, as noted in his electioneering earlier this year, Trump has openly indicated his incoming administration鈥檚 return to his most controversial campaign promises, including strict immigration policies and a tough stance on North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), as he prepares to take office.

Specifically, in his first formal TV interview since winning the US Presidency, Trump told 鈥楴BC鈥檚 鈥楳eet the Press鈥� Sunday, December 8, that his administration would 鈥渉ave to鈥� deport all undocumented immigrants currently in the United States.

As regards whether his incoming administration intended to deport 鈥渆veryone who is here (US) illegally over the next four years鈥�, Trump did not shy away.

Nonetheless, the US President-elect鈥檚 stance on the contentious immigration matter is reportedly sending shocking waves across the global community as of now.

He simply averred: 鈥淵ou have to do it,鈥� stressing that his administration鈥檚 focus on immigration enforcement as a cornerstone of his campaign promises.

Besides, Trump has also continued to challenge the notion of birthright citizenship of the United States.

The President-elect noted that he would 鈥渆nd it if we can, through executive action,鈥� calling the constitutional principle 鈥渞idiculous.鈥�
