特朗普百日“维新”盘点

Welcome to 'Today' - an hour of world news and analysis -- from a different perspective. I'm Su Yi.

Coming up:

U.S. President Donald Trump¹’s presidency² is set to hit the 100-day mark Saturday.The White House says over 500,000 new jobs have been generated and 61 percent of illegal border crossings have been cut during the course of the 100 days.The White House also says Trump has signed 30 executive orders, which is "more than any president since Franklin Roosevelt".However, some observers say of among the 38 specific promises Trump made in his 100-day "contract" with voters during the campaign, he's only managed to accomplish 10. Also most of them were done through executive orders that don't require legislation.Besides, Obamacare, travel ban, Syria and Russian-ties are some of the hot words on international media to assess his first 100 days in office.US media reports say Trump’s 100-day plan remains³ mostly a to-do list that will spill over well beyond his 100th day.Meantime, Trump suffers from a historically low approval rating, but almost all supporters voting for him last year remain firmly loyal to him.
