The White House released a progress report on Trump’s first two years in office
The U.S. government published a wide-ranging account of what it described as Donald Trump’s achievements on the border, crime, the economy, energy, defense and social policy. The statement was issued by the White House as a case for the administration’s record.
The White House published a political and policy overview arguing that Donald Trump delivered sweeping changes in less than two years in office across immigration, public safety, the economy, energy, defense, health and election rules.
According to the official release, the administration said it tightened border enforcement, reduced net migration, narrowed asylum approvals and expanded arrests tied to criminal organizations. It also pointed to the enactment of the Laken Riley Act, the HALT Fentanyl Act and the Secure America Act, which the White House described as central to its immigration and anti-drug agenda.
On crime, the report said the U.S. murder rate reached its lowest level in 125 years in 2025 and that violent crime kept falling in 2026. It also credited the administration with progress in capturing fugitives sought by the FBI and with a focused campaign in Washington, D.C.
On the economy, the White House said Trump pushed tax cuts for working families, promoted new trade deals and helped expand manufacturing. The document also claimed there were more than one million new private-sector jobs in the second term, hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud uncovered and more than $11 trillion in newly secured U.S. investment.
The official summary further said the administration posted record oil and gas output, advanced deregulation measures and reduced the size of the federal workforce. In foreign policy and defense, it argued that Trump strengthened military recruiting, reset Pentagon priorities and achieved agreements and outcomes in several international conflicts.
The publication also reviewed measures on gender identity, sports, education and public health. According to the White House, the government established a federal policy recognizing two sexes, removed official support for diversity, equity and inclusion programs, promoted changes in dietary guidance and sought lower prescription drug prices.
In its closing section, the statement said the administration won key Supreme Court rulings on presidential authority, immigration and mail-in voting, presenting the full set of actions as evidence of a broader national turnaround.
