Navigating the Trump Administration’s New Policies: A Guide by Mohamed Aboshanab, CEO of Global Expat

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump commenced his second term by signing a series of landmark executive orders aimed at reshaping U.S. domestic and foreign policy. These decisions mark a turning point and have significant implications for individuals, businesses, and global stakeholders. As the CEO of Global Expat, I believe it is essential to understand the new landscape and prepare strategically for the next four years.

Key Executive Orders and Their Implications

1. Military and Border Security

President Trump has reinstated service members dismissed for refusing COVID-19 vaccines, offering them back pay. This move reflects a broader focus on revisiting prior administration policies. A national emergency was also declared at the U.S.-Mexico border, with military deployment to address illegal immigration and associated crimes.

Additionally, the administration has restricted the inclusion of diversity and transgender policies in the military, emphasizing a shift toward traditional structures. This pivot underscores the administration’s stance on reinforcing border integrity and military efficiency.

2. Federal Workforce and Administrative Reforms

The federal workforce has seen significant changes, including:

A mandate for federal employees to return to full in-office work, ending remote operations.
The reinstatement of the "Schedule F" classification, allowing the replacement of bureaucratic roles with politically aligned personnel.

These changes aim to centralize decision-making and enhance government productivity, but they also call for businesses and organizations to adapt to a more controlled federal environment.

3. Immigration Overhaul

A pivotal decision was the executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. While this policy is poised for legal challenges under the 14th Amendment, it signals a stricter immigration framework.

The administration has also reintroduced the "Remain in Mexico" policy, expedited border wall construction, and terminated "catch and release" practices. Businesses and individuals engaged in cross-border activities should anticipate heightened scrutiny and operational adjustments.

4. Reversals of International Engagements

President Trump has withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization, signifying a pivot toward unilateral decision-making. These moves prioritize national sovereignty but may create challenges for global collaborations in healthcare and environmental initiatives.

5. Free Speech Protections

The administration has underscored its commitment to free speech by signing an order prohibiting federal authorities from infringing on constitutional rights. Additionally, it mandates investigations into potential violations of free speech during the prior administration.

Preparing for the Next Four Years

The new policies demand a proactive approach for individuals and businesses to navigate potential challenges and leverage opportunities. Here’s how you can prepare:

Stay Informed

Understanding policy changes is crucial. Whether you’re a global entrepreneur, expat, or investor, staying updated on these developments can help you make informed decisions. Subscribe to reliable news sources, join expert webinars, and consult professionals who can interpret these changes for you.

Seek Professional Guidance

With immigration policies tightening and financial regulations evolving, consulting experts is non-negotiable. At Global Expat, we specialize in guiding clients through complex legal and tax systems, ensuring compliance while optimizing opportunities for growth.

Adapt to Change

The return to traditional workforce structures and changes in immigration policies require adaptability. Whether you’re a business owner navigating federal contracts or a family exploring second residency options, flexibility is key.

Secure a Backup Plan

The unpredictability of global policies highlights the importance of having a robust backup plan. Second citizenship, offshore planning, and asset diversification are essential steps to safeguard your future.

Final Thoughts

The next four years will be transformative, not just for the U.S. but globally. As a leader in global legal and tax consultancy, I urge you to embrace a mindset of preparedness and adaptability. At Global Expat, our mission is to empower clients to thrive amid uncertainty, offering bespoke solutions tailored to your unique needs.

Let’s face these changes together. Stay ready, stay informed, and remember: your future is tax-free.
