US election 2020: How Trump has changed the world - BBC News

Donald Trump is no exception.

So how exactly has Mr Trump changed the world.

President Trump has repeatedly declared the US "the greatest country in the world".

The US is the second-biggest emitter of greenhouse gases behind China, and researchers have warned that if Mr Trump is re-elected, it may become impossible to keep global warming in check.

President Trump set out his stall on immigration just a week after his inauguration, closing US borders to travellers from seven Muslim-majority countries.

The number of foreign-born people living in the US was about 3% higher in 2019 than in 2016, President Obama's last year in office.

Turning to refugees, Donald Trump has made swingeing cuts to the number who can resettle in America.

"I think one of the greatest of all terms I've come up with is 'fake'," Donald Trump said in an October 2017 interview.

During the 2016 White House race, "fake news" meant untrue reports like one about Pope Francis endorsing Mr Trump for the presidency.

President Trump seems to scorn deals he didn't broker.

The President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency.

On 2 December 2016, Mr Trump (then president-elect) took the highly unusual step of speaking directly to the president of Taiwan - breaking with a precedent set in 1979, when formal relations were cut.

The bold opener from Mr Trump was the first in a multi-pronged poking contest between the great geopolitical rivals, which has sunk relations to their lowest point in years.

President Trump has renamed Covid-19 "the China virus", and while he may be keen to deflect scrutiny from his own handling of the pandemic, a change of US leadership wouldn't necessarily mean a more conciliatory tone!

Democratic nominee Joe Biden has called President Xi a thug, and claimed the Chinese leader "doesn't have a [democratic] bone in his body".
