Answer 1

Mr Donald Trump, right from joining the office of USA's President has been very optimistic and dedicated towards the growth and development of USA's businesses and industries. This was the general thought of people even before Mr Trump became the president that he will be pro-business as he is a businessman himself and has a very positive attitude towards business and other such activities.

Actions of Trump administration:

• The H1-B Visa Issue- As the Trump administration has stopped issuing H1-B visas which in turn will stop people from other country take up jobs in the USA and will open an opportunity for Americans, the American employees thus will get more jobs as well as more pay because the companies will not have someone to replace the American talent.
• The Vision towards "Buy American and Hire American": As Mr Trump himself is very vocal about "Making America Great Again" the first agenda which he has in his mind was to promote people to purchase goods manufactured in the US and later he added that American companies should hire the workforce from the American citizens.
• Ban on Chinese Goods: As People's Republic of China has emerged as an economic superpower on the world horizon it has started challenging the position of United States in the world economy, keeping that in mind the Trump administration has banned a few of the Chinese goods into US, China has also retaliated in the same way by banning American products in its territory. This order will promote the companies in the United States to produce more which in turn will require more people for its operations thus the jobs will be created in the US economy.
• Reforms: The Trump administration is looking to reform the economy to promote the business i the country. The rules and regulations are lessened from the side of government. The companies are allowed to expand their business, this is a positive move for the economy and will be beneficial for all including employees.
• Deregulation: A wave of optimism is present in the American business leaders, and it is beginning to translate into the sort of investment in new plants, equipment and factory upgrades that bolsters economic growth, spurs job creation — and may finally raise wages significantly. The move to deregulate certain things was expected from the new administration and it has created a positive environment.
• After Trump coming to power in some industries, the Trump administration’s actions will allow companies to engage in activities they might not have been able to otherwise; electric utilities, for example, might be able to invest in upgrading power plants that run on fossil fuels, thanks to a promised rollback of Mr Obama’s Clean Power Plan to fight climate change.

The all actions stated above seems to be positive and motivating if seen from an employee’s perspectives, the American employees will be at no loss although people of other countries such as India and China who are working in the US may be affected due to the visa issue. Their might also be a few job cuts in the sector where the products were exported to China,

The overall actions from in my opinion seem positive and a few things which the Trump administration did was required for the growth and prosperity of USA.
