President Trump marked the beginning of his administration's achievements with a unique opening bell ceremony from the Oval Office, a symbol of the president's official working space at the White House. The ceremony highlighted a series of landmark policies and initiatives, such as record-setting tax cuts, energy independence, and the establishment of the Space Force.

Other notable achievements included the replacement of NAFTA with the United-States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, major breakthroughs in Middle Eastern peace, and significant reforms in Veterans Affairs.
