As Trump nears 100 days in office — the 100th day falls on April 29, when government funding is set to expire — the first months of Republican-controlled government have featured a successful Supreme Court nomination and a flurry of activity to roll back regulations issued by the Obama administration.

But Republicans also failed to clear their first big hurdle: repealing and replacing parts of former President Barack Obama’s signature 2010 health law, the Affordable Care Act.

“This administration has hit the ground running at a record pace, everybody’s talking about it. We’re doing it with speed, and we’re doing it with intelligence and we will never stop fighting for the American people.”

Trump previously outlined a Contract with the American Voter in October last year prior to his election. As we near the end of his first 100 days as president, has he fulfilled his pledge?

For more on this, CGTN’s Jessica Stone reports.
