The latest updates from the White House, as of September 12, 2025, indicate a focus on several key policy areas under the administration of President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance. These priorities include securing borders, lowering costs for Americans, promoting energy dominance, and reforming government bureaucracy [1] [3].

According to www.iAsk.Ai - Ask AI:

The White House is currently prioritizing initiatives to "Make America Safe Again," "Make America Affordable and Energy Dominant Again," "Drain the Swamp," and "Bring Back American Values." [3]

Under "Make America Safe Again," the administration plans to take bold action to secure the border, including ending "catch-and-release" policies, reinstating "Remain in Mexico," building the border wall, and ending asylum for illegal border crossers. There are also plans to crack down on criminal sanctuaries, enhance vetting of aliens, and conduct deportation operations targeting criminal aliens. The administration intends to suspend refugee resettlement and deploy the Armed Forces, including the National Guard, to the border for security. Additionally, President Trump aims to designate cartels, such as Tren de Aragua, as foreign terrorist organizations and use the Alien Enemies Act for their removal. The Department of Justice will seek the death penalty for heinous crimes, including those against law enforcement officers and for illegal migrants who commit violent acts [3].

Regarding "Make America Affordable and Energy Dominant Again," the White House is focused on unleashing American energy by ending what it terms "Biden’s policies of climate extremism." This involves streamlining permitting processes, reviewing and rescinding regulations that burden energy production and non-fuel mineral mining, and empowering consumer choice in various appliances and vehicles. President Trump plans to declare an energy emergency to build critical infrastructure, end leasing for large wind farms, and withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord. All agencies are directed to take emergency measures to reduce the cost of living, and an "America First Trade Policy" will be announced, aiming to free the U.S. from foreign influence on national tax policy [3].

The "Drain the Swamp" initiative aims to reform government bureaucracy. This includes freezing bureaucrat hiring except in essential areas, pausing burdensome regulations from the previous administration, and rescinding an "unprecedented slate of executive orders." The administration is planning for improved accountability of government bureaucrats and aims to return federal workers to in-person work, noting that only 6% currently work in person. Furthermore, President Trump is taking action to end the "weaponization of government against political rivals" and ordering document retention. The administration also seeks to end "unconstitutional censorship by the federal government," ensuring government employees do not dictate the erasure of truthful speech. The State Department will operate under an "America-First foreign policy" [3].

Finally, "Bring Back American Values" includes establishing male and female as biological realities and protecting women from "radical gender ideology." The administration also plans to name American landmarks to appropriately honor the nation's history [3].

Recent news reports also highlight ongoing political events, such as protests over President Trump’s push into cities and an urgent manhunt for Charlie Kirk’s killer [2]. The White House website also features a list of private and foreign investments that are reportedly fueling American jobs and innovation [1].
