• Reforming Foreign Aid and Diplomacy: President Trump banned funding (https://t.co/TTbNw2PeYo) to UNRWA due to its ties to Hamas, imposed (https://t.co/cmKt1cONxU) sanctions on the International Criminal Court for overreach, reinstated (https://t.co/VmbaUObE4T) the Mexico City Policy to prevent taxpayer dollars from supporting foreign
abortions, and ordered (https://t.co/sPOod4ldFJ) U.S. embassies to fly only the American flag. He directed the State Department to always put America First, ensuring (https://t.co/Dj1KrTAgq0) diplomats align with U.S. interests.
• Revitalizing the U.S. Military: The armed forces have achieved their best recruiting numbers (https://t.co/COpAm5gAJz) in 15 years, with President Trump reinstating (https://t.co/m8D1dtmEAF) discharged service members from the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, barring (https://t.co/MM85T50GpT) transgender enlistments, and restoring traditional names to military bases like Fort Bragg (https://t.co/CpsPrqZhTH) and Fort Benning (https://t.co/J1r4XCVQts) .
President Trump’s America First approach has not only deterred adversaries, but also forged new partnerships — making the world safer and America more secure.

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - President Trump Returned Our Nation to Law and Order
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
02/24/26
President Trump Returned Our Nation to Law and Order
After years of chaos, skyrocketing crime, and soft-on-crime policies under Biden plunged the nation’s biggest cities into anarchy and disorder, President Trump took office on a promise to restore public safety — and one year later, it is clear that he has delivered.
Under President Trump, America is safer, stronger, and winning again — and the era of Democrat-inspired lawlessness is over:
• The murder rate in the nation’s biggest cities has fallen (https://t.co/tHvHRNEg5M) to its lowest level in at least 125 years — marking the largest single-year drop (https://t.co/zdTkB4a4Ut) in recorded history.
• In 2025, the nation saw steep declines (https://t.co/iScf4WZXYK) across every major violent crime category compared to the prior year, with overall murders down 19%, robberies down 20%, and aggravated assaults down nearly 10%.
+ Axios (https://t.co/iScf4WZXYK) : “Violent crime dropped sharply across America’s biggest cities in 2025.”
• The nation also saw dramatic reductions (https://t.co/H9BEf9sjxr) in rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults, shooting deaths (fewest (https://t.co/ZuYFJIa31u) since 2015), on-duty law enforcement officer deaths (https://t.co/MwZV4sumGU) (80-year low (https://t.co/t00yn2O7xD) ), traffic fatalities (https://t.co/2jA4Qef99j), and overdose (https://t.co/8VZsqyyGdm) deaths (https://t.co/Mezy63Xe8U) .
• The Trump Administration captured a record number (https://t.co/bSBf1rySWW) of criminals on the FBI’s Most Wanted List — outpacing the number captured under Biden in just one year.
• The results are especially pronounced in Democrat-run jurisdictions where the Trump Administration conducted mass deportation and enhanced law enforcement operations.
+ Washington, D.C.: Since President Trump’s crackdown began, murders declined (https://t.co/wbgN9oJ1l7) 66%, carjackings dropped 82%, and overall crime fell (https://t.co/JwOcUu9RKO) by nearly a third compared to the prior year.
