The Trump Effect

 

Today marks the launch of a project called "The Trump Effect: Tracking the Impact of the President's Policies." This dedicated section features text stories, video, photos, interactive graphics and data that identify and measure the impact of policies in the areas of energy and environment, health care, immigration and business and the economy. 

 

Even without delivering on his biggest campaign promises, President Donald Trump has begun to reshape American life in ways big and small. Over his first nine months, Trump has used an aggressive series of regulatory rollbacks, executive orders and changes in enforcement guidelines to rewrite the rules for industries from energy to airlines, and on issues from campus sexual assault to anti-discrimination protections for transgender students.

Trump is facing a crucial Oct. 15 deadline on Iran, writes Jarrett Blanc, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. If the U.S. president refuses to re-certify Tehran's compliance with the 2015 multinational agreement to forgo nuclear weapons, U.S. allies in Europe "will be forced to choose between committing a crime and making a mistake."
