The first 100 days of President Donald J. Trump's administration were marked by several key actions and initiatives in foreign policy that aimed to put "America First." Here are some highlights:

1. **Withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP):** One of President Trump's earliest actions was to withdraw the U.S. from the TPP, a trade agreement with 11 Pacific Rim nations, emphasizing his commitment to renegotiating trade deals that he believed were not in the best interest of the American economy.

2. **Review of NAFTA:** President Trump initiated a review of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and later began renegotiations with Canada and Mexico, aiming to secure better trade terms for the U.S. This process ultimately led to the signing of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in 2018.

3. **Travel Ban:** President Trump signed executive orders imposing travel restrictions on citizens from several predominantly Muslim countries, citing national security concerns. After multiple legal challenges, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a revised version of the ban in 2018.

4. **Relocation of the U.S. Embassy in Israel:** The U.S. recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moved its embassy there from Tel Aviv, a move that was controversial internationally and largely celebrated by the Israeli government.

5. **Paris Agreement Withdrawal:** President Trump announced the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change, arguing that it was a bad deal for the U.S. and would harm American businesses and workers.

6. **Airstrikes in Syria:** The U.S. launched airstrikes against the Syrian regime in response to chemical weapon attacks, demonstrating a willingness to use military force when it perceived national interests were threatened.

7. **Engagement with North Korea:** Despite initial hostile rhetoric, President Trump met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in 2018 and 2019, attempting to negotiate the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, though these efforts did not yield significant results.

8. **Iran Nuclear Deal:** The Trump administration withdrew the U.S. from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran Nuclear Deal, and reimposed economic sanctions on Iran.

9. **Engagement with China:** President Trump launched a trade war with China, implementing tariffs on Chinese goods and seeking to address trade imbalances and intellectual property issues.

10. **Relationship with traditional allies:** The administration's foreign policy approach sometimes strained relationships with traditional U.S. allies, particularly in Europe, due to differing views on trade, climate change, and international institutions like NATO.

11. **Arab-Israeli Normalization Agreements:** The Trump administration facilitated the signing of the Abraham Accords, normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab countries, including the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan.
