On January 20, Donald Trump will be sworn in as U.S. president at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. As Americans prepare for his return to the White House, many are contemplating what changes his second term might bring to the nation and how it could impact international relations, particularly with the Chinese mainland.
CGTN Stringer spoke to residents in Texas to gather their thoughts on these pressing issues.
\"I believe that President Trump's policies will focus on strengthening the U.S. economy,\" said John Smith, a small business owner in Austin. \"I am hopeful that his approach to trade will benefit American businesses and create more jobs.\"
\"I'm concerned about how his policies might affect international relations,\" shared Maria Gonzalez, a teacher from Houston. \"We need to collaborate with other countries, including the Chinese mainland, to address global challenges like climate change and healthcare.\"
\"Trump's strong stance on national security is reassuring,\" noted David Lee, a veteran from Dallas. \"However, I hope that he will pursue diplomatic solutions where possible to maintain peace.\"
Many Texans are watching closely to see how Trump's policies will shape the future of China-U.S. relations. With significant economic ties between the two regions, changes in trade policies could have far-reaching effects.
As the nation awaits the inauguration, American citizens express a mix of optimism and concern. The coming years will reveal how Trump's leadership will influence not only the United States but also its relationship with the global community.
