The incoming U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday released
a “video message” to Americans, sharing his specific agenda in his
first 100 days in office.
Trump, in the uploaded video, on You Tube and his Facebook
account outlined his key policy platforms ahead of his inauguration on Jan. 20,
beginning on day one in office.
Trump said that on his first day in office, he would issue a
notice that the U.S. is withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership,
negotiated by outgoing President Barack Obama involving 12 Pacific Rim nations.
He said he would scrap regulations on energy
production, withdrawing from trade agreements and investigating all abuses of
visa programmes.
“Whether it’s producing steel, building cars or curing
disease, I want the next generation of production and innovation to happen
right here, on our great homeland: America.
“This will be creating wealth and jobs for American
workers,” Trump says in the video, his first address since his acceptance
speech on election night.
The president-elect said “Our transition team is
working very smoothly, efficiently and effectively.
“Truly great and talented men and women, patriots indeed are
being brought in and many will soon be a part of our government, helping us to
make America great again”.
He said he wanted to provide an update on the White House
transition and policy plans for the first 100 days of his administration.
“I’ve asked my transition team to develop a list of
executive actions we can take on day one to restore our laws and bring back our
jobs.
“I am going to issue a notification of intent to withdraw
from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a potential disaster for our country;
instead we will negotiate fair, bilateral trade deals.”
On immigration, he said he would direct the Department
of Labor to “investigate all abuses of visa programmes that undercut the
American worker”.
The incoming president also said he would cancel Obama
administration rules that limit energy production.
According to him, he said he would rescind
“job-killing” rules on clean coal and natural-gas production, “creating
millions of high-paying jobs”.
“That’s what we want, that’s what we’ve been waiting for,”
Trump said.
He also said he would direct the Department of Defense
and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to come up with plans to protect
American infrastructure from cyber and other attacks.
“These are just a few of the steps we will take to reform
Washington and rebuild our middle class.
“I will provide more updates in the coming days, as we work
together to make America great again for everyone, and I mean everyone,” he
said.
