Last Wednesday (06), Donald Trump's victory has been announced. After four years, the no longer former president will return to the White House with the promise of "The golden age of the America".
For Americans, this means the return of Republicans to power, but for the rest of the world it means the closing of borders, anti-immigration policies and other controversial statements.

Hours after his speech on stage at a luxury resort in Palm Beach, and with 277 votes (51%) against Kamala Harris' 224 (47%), Donald Trump's victory has been confirmed.
During his speech, called the victory the "greatest political move of all time" and said the Americans had given him "a powerful and unprecedented mandate". And even with the victory in the popular vote, it is necessary to think about what this result means not only for the citizens of the United States, but for the entire world.
*United States and illegal immigration*
It is not now that Trump has made his position on various political areas very clear, even if they are harshly criticized. During his victory speech, the new president promised to close the borders and stated that his slogan would be: 'Promises made will be kept'.
Among his promises, 'to carry out the largest deportation in mass in the history of the United States', what may worry many of the foreigners, large and important part of the country's population (50.6 million in 2019).
He also accused Central and South American countries of sending criminals to US territory, linking illegal immigration to an alleged increase in crime in the United States, vowing not to rest until he returns "the safe and prosperous America we deserve."
However, Trump’s statements have sparked concern both internal and internationally. Many human rights organizations warn that such policies could lead to significant humanitarian issues, while economic experts point to the potential impact on industries that rely heavily on immigrant labor. Critics argue that the promised "mass deportations" and stringent immigration measures could not only disrupt millions of lives but also harm sectors like agriculture and construction, where a significant portion of the workforce is composed of immigrants.
*Global Reactions and International Relations*
The response from world leaders has been cautious. Allies of the United States in Europe and Latin America, for example, have expressed concern over Trump’s isolationist rhetoric and his emphasis on "America First" policies. Some worry that the new president's stance could lead to a rollback of international cooperation on pressing issues, from climate change to global security.
Several Latin American countries, particularly those with close economic and social ties to the United States, are apprehensive about potential changes to visa policies and trade agreements. For these countries, Trump's promises signal a shift toward a more protectionist and self-sufficient America, which may impact bilateral relations and economic stability.
As the world watches this new chapter in U.S. politics unfold, one thing is clear: the impact of Trump’s return to power extends far beyond American borders. While his supporters celebrate a renewed focus on national security and American prosperity, others brace for the potential consequences of his policies on global relations and human rights.
The coming months will reveal how the United States, under Trump's leadership, will deal with internal challenges and its complex role on the world stage.
