As U.S. President Donald Trump approaches the symbolic 100-day milestone of his administration, multiple polls reveal declining approval ratings, particularly on signature issues such as economic policy and immigration. Analysts note this marks a stark contrast to traditional presidential 'honeymoon periods,' with opposition deepening even among some core demographics.
CGTN analysis highlights concerns over the administration’s policy execution, including delays in tax reform pledges and heightened scrutiny of immigration enforcement measures. Experts suggest these challenges may strain U.S.-Asia trade dynamics, with investors closely monitoring potential impacts on manufacturing and tech partnerships in East and Southeast Asia.
While White House officials emphasize progress on deregulation and job creation, critics argue the administration’s domestic struggles could undermine its geopolitical influence. Asian markets remain cautiously observant, weighing risks to regional stability amid shifting U.S. trade priorities.
