Donald Trump is set to be sworn in as U.S. president at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on January 20. As anticipation builds, residents of Texas are voicing their thoughts on what Trump's return to the White House might mean for the United States and its relationship with China.
CGTN Stringer spoke to various Texans to gauge their expectations and concerns regarding the upcoming administration. Many are hopeful that Trump's policies will revitalize the economy, strengthen national security, and assert the U.S. presence on the global stage.
Some residents expressed optimism about potential economic growth and job creation under Trump's leadership. 'I believe Trump's business acumen will boost our economy and create more opportunities for Americans,' said a local entrepreneur.
