Donald Trump will return to the White House, he has promised action on issues including immigration, the economy and the war in Ukraine.

He looks set to enjoy much support for his political agenda in Congress after his Republican Party regained control of the Senate.

In his victory speech, Trump vowed to be "governed by a simple motto: Promises made, promises kept. We will keep our promises."

But in some cases, he has given few details about how he might achieve his goals.

Asked in 2023 by Fox News whether he would abuse his power or target political opponents, he replied that he would not, "except on day one."

"No, no, no, except for the first day. We're closing the border and drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I'm not a dictator."

1) Deportation of undocumented immigrants

During the campaign, Trump promised the largest mass deportations of undocumented immigrants in US history.

He also pledged to complete construction of a wall on the border with Mexico that began during his first presidency.

The number of crossings at the US southern border reached record levels late last year during the Biden-Harris administration, before falling in 2024.

Experts have told the BBC that deportations on the scale promised by Trump would face huge legal and logistical challenges - and could slow economic growth.

2) Movement in the economy, taxes and fees

Exit poll data suggested the economy was a key issue for voters. Trump has promised to "end inflation" - which soared to high levels under President Joe Biden before falling again. But a president's power to directly influence prices is limited.

He has also promised sweeping tax cuts, extending his review from 2017. He has proposed making tips tax-free, scrapping tax on social security payments and cutting corporate tax.

He has proposed new tariffs of at least 10% on most foreign goods to reduce the trade deficit. Imports from China could face a 60% surcharge, he said. Some economists have warned that such moves could raise prices for ordinary people.

3) Reducing climate regulations

During his first presidency, Trump removed hundreds of environmental protections and made America the first nation to withdraw from the Paris climate accord.

This time, he has again pledged to cut regulations, specifically as a way to help the US auto industry. He has repeatedly attacked electric vehicles, promising to subvert Biden's goals by encouraging a shift to cars that are more environmentally friendly.

He has pledged to increase fossil fuel production in the US - vowing to "drill, drill, drill" on day one in favor of renewable energy sources like wind power.

He wants to open up areas such as the Arctic wilderness to oil drilling, which he argues would lower energy costs - although analysts are skeptical.

4) The end of the war in Ukraine

Trump has criticized the tens of billions of dollars spent by the US to support Ukraine in its war with Russia - and has vowed to end the conflict "within 24 hours" through a negotiated settlement.

He has not said what he thinks either side should give up. Democrats say the move would embolden President Vladimir Putin.

Trump wants the US to disengage from foreign conflicts in general. Regarding the war in Gaza - Trump has positioned himself as a staunch supporter of Israel, but has asked the US ally to end its operation.

He has also pledged to end the violence in Lebanon, but gave no details on how.

5) No ban on abortion

Against the wishes of some of his supporters, Trump said during the presidential debate with Kamala Harris that he would not sign into law a national abortion ban.

In 2022, the nationwide constitutional right to abortion was struck down by the Supreme Court, which had a majority of conservative justices after Trump's first presidency.

Reproductive rights became a major campaign theme for Harris, and several states passed measures to protect or expand abortion rights on Election Day.

Trump himself has regularly said that states should be free to set their own abortion laws, but has struggled to find a consistent message of his own.

6) He will pardon some protesters of January 6

Trump has said he will "release" some of those convicted of crimes during the riots in Washington DC on January 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the Capitol building in an attempt to prevent Joe Biden's 2020 election victory.

Several deaths were said to have resulted from the violence, which Trump has been accused of inciting.

He has worked to downplay the riots and recast the hundreds of supporters who were sentenced as political prisoners.

He goes on to say that many of them have been "wrongfully imprisoned", although he has admitted that "two of them have probably got out of hand".

7) The firing of special prosecutor Jack Smith

Trump has vowed to fire "within two seconds" of taking office the veteran prosecutor leading two criminal investigations against him.

Special counsel Jack Smith has sued Trump over alleged attempts to sway the 2020 election and his alleged misuse of classified documents.

Trump denies any wrongdoing and managed to prevent each case from going to trial before the election. He says that Mr. Smith has subjected him to a "political witch hunt".
