An analysis released by a left-wing think tank, the Center for Progressive Reform, said that the White House has “already initiated or completed” 53% of the policies in the document.

A separate Project 2025 tracker using different methodology came up with roughly the same figure at 51%.

Proposals in Project 2025 that have been enacted since Trump returned to the White House include:

A halt to billions of dollars of foreign aid

Moves to end federal diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) programmes

Increases in the scope and scale of immigration enforcement

An end to federal funding of public broadcasters NPR and PBS

In a section on immigration, the document proposed authorising military troops to seal the country’s borders, eliminating protected enforcement zones such as schools and churches, sweeping workplaces for undocumented migrants and boosting the number of detention facilities for prospective deportees.

These are all measures the Trump administration has since implemented.

Trump’s foreign policy has also echoed elements of Project 2025.

A chapter on foreign policy, which includes a section on Venezuela, stops short of calling for the removal of President Nicolás Maduro – something the Trump administration did earlier this year.

But it reads: “To contain Venezuela’s Communism and aid international partners, the next Administration must take important steps to put Venezuela’s Communist abusers on notice while making strides to help the Venezuelan people.”

The document also mentions three other South American countries – Colombia, Guyana, and Ecuador – which it says are “either increasingly regional security threats… or are vulnerable to hostile extra-continental powers” such as China and Russia.

“The US has an opportunity to lead these democratic neighbors to fight against the external pressure of threats from abroad and address local regional security concerns,” its authors wrote.

The 2025 US National Security Strategy identifies China as a leading adversary and, in a section on the Western Hemisphere, states: “The choice all countries should face is whether they want to live in an American-led world of sovereign countries and free economies or in a parallel one in which they are influenced by countries on the other side of the world.”
