2025 was a year of historic political shifts, international developments, and technological breakthroughs. Here are 10 events that defined the year:
Trump’s Second Term:
Donald Trump returned to the White House in January, launching a protectionist agenda, mass deportations, and dismantling parts of the federal government. He deployed the National Guard in Democrat-leaning cities, clashed with the media, and curtailed diversity programs. Rising economic concerns, especially over the cost of living, have left Americans increasingly frustrated, and Republicans face tough midterm elections.
Gaza Ceasefire:
US diplomacy led to a truce between Israel and Hamas, two years after the devastating Gaza war began. The deal secured the return of hostages and most of the deceased, along with the release of Palestinian prisoners. Humanitarian aid to Gaza increased but remains insufficient. Tensions continue, with Israeli strikes on Hezbollah and Hamas officials, while raids on Iran’s nuclear facilities occurred during a 12-day conflict in June.
Stalled Ukraine Peace Talks:
Trump’s presidency reignited efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war. His stance fluctuated between supporting Ukrainian President Zelenskiy and Russian President Putin, creating uncertainty for Kyiv. A high-stakes summit in Alaska in August ended abruptly, with no progress on a peace deal, leaving Washington frustrated with Moscow.
These events, along with developments in AI investment, global diplomacy, and regional conflicts, made 2025 a year of dramatic change and geopolitical tension.
