The first year of Donald Trump's second term was marked by a series of high-profile events and dramatic moments, both domestically and internationally. The year began with Trump's inauguration, attended by prominent figures from politics and technology, and quickly moved into a period of intense diplomatic activity, including meetings with leaders from Israel, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.

Major policy actions were taken, such as the signing of sweeping spending and tax legislation and executive orders, while the administration faced significant unrest at home, including protests and federal interventions in Washington, DC and Los Angeles. Internationally, the United States conducted strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, leading to the capture and extradition of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

The year also saw moments of celebration and tragedy, from the announcement of a Gaza ceasefire and public celebrations in Tel Aviv to the assassination of activist Charlie Kirk. The administration oversaw notable changes to the White House and witnessed political shifts, including the resignation of a key congressional ally. President Trump was recognized with the FIFA Peace Prize, and met with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, highlighting the global impact and controversy of his leadership.
