A year on: Has President Trump followed through on his promises?
The President delivered his tax cut pledge and jobs have been created - but he's struggled over Obamacare and immigration.

He took power off the back of some controversial and populist policies that hit home with tens of millions of voters - but has President Trump delivered a year on from his inauguration?
Pledge: Protect American borders
President Trump made significant political capital of his plans to curb immigration during his campaign and inauguration speech, promising to ban Muslims from entering the US.
Since taking office, he has introduced three travel bans, but faced significant challenges from the courts in enforcing them.
Just before Christmas, the Supreme Court ruled the third of those could take effect, pending legal challenges; a belated success for the President after 11 months of setbacks.
Building a wall along the southern border, paid for by Mexico, was another of his headline policies - but so far there has been little progress, with tussles over funding between the political parties.
Prototypes are being built in California, but so far no ground has been broken.
Pledge: Execute an 'America First' strategy
The President's clearest strategy in his first year in office was to put American economic interests before those of foreign nations.
In this he has been partially successful - he withdrew from the the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement immediately after taking office, claiming it was a bad deal for America.
He is attempting to rewrite other deals with Mexico, Canada and South Korea, but has yet to make much progress with America's trade imbalance with China.

Pledge: Create jobs
American businesses have added hundreds of thousands jobs over the past year, predominantly in manufacturing and construction, bringing unemployment down to 4.1%.
President Trump regularly takes credit for the confidence in the market; in reality a similar number of jobs were added per month in President Obama's final year in office.
That said, Wall Street is performing well under Mr Trump's clear economic messaging.
Pledge: Repeal and replace 'Obamacare'
One of Mr Trump's key promises on entering the Oval Office, it has proven impossible to fulfil in his first year.
Repealing Obamacare has come to represent the struggle between the President and his party in Congress, who would not give him the support to overturn Barack Obama's signature policy.
John McCain - famous from his own 2008 presidential run - made headlines by voting against reform after receiving a pleading phone call from the President.
Many Republicans are not satisfied with the new healthcare system that would replace Obamacare, making overturning it a considerable challenge for Mr Trump in the coming months and years.
Pledge: Pass tax reform
Perhaps his biggest legislative achievement to date, Mr Trump corralled Republicans to vote for an overhaul in tax policy at the end of 2017.
The bill cuts the corporate tax rate and income taxes in an effort to boost productivity and workers' take-home pay.
Critics, however, say that the rich will get richer under new plans, and some middle income families will end up paying more.
Pledge: Target climate change deal
Mr Trump has long made clear that he is sceptical about climate change, labelling it a hoax to harm the United States, and benefit others such as China.
He campaigned on a determination to pull the US out of the 2015 Paris climate agreement, and followed through on that promise, weaving it into his "America First" agenda.
That decision leaves the US isolated as now the only one of 197 countries who opposes the deal.
Environmentalists fear the impact of not having the world's second-largest greenhouse gas emitter on board.
However, there remains faint hope the withdrawal may never happen if a way is found to renegotiate the deal to Mr Trump's liking, rather than entirely tearing it up.
Pledge: Rebuild infrastructure
A year into Mr Trump's presidency, progress on his commitment to rebuild the country's roads, railways and airports has proven slow.
The major sticking point is where to come up with the estimated $1trn needed to make substantive and vital improvements.
The White House is expected to lay out details of what is expected of federal and state governments within the next few weeks - and from that point, the partisan struggle over funding will really get going.
Pledge: Reinforce old alliances, and build new ones
Noisily turning your own country's priorities inwards while not alienating your allies is a tricky balance, and so it has proved for President Trump.
Attempts to overhaul or abandon international deals on Iran and climate change have been deeply unpopular with some of America's oldest and most resolute allies, and his relations with Britain and other EU countries have been soured by public spats.
Trump has continued his criticism of NATO but, so far, the US appears to be maintaining its role within the alliance.
With more complex relationships such as Russia and China, Trump has been more reserved, with occasional tough words, but fewer overt bust-ups.
His interactions with foreign leaders, both friend and foe, remain one of the most unpredictable aspects of his presidency - and that's saying something.
