US President Donald Trump celebrated the first 100 days of his second term with a rally Tuesday in Michigan, spotlighting immigration enforcement as a signature achievement and touting new economic measures to support the auto industry.

Addressing his supporters at Macomb Community College in Detroit, Trump declared his administration was “just getting started,” framing his early months back in office as “the most successful first 100 days of any administration in the history of our country.”

“Week by week, we’re ending illegal immigration,” he told supporters. "You know, I won on the basis of, I think the number one thing was on illegal immigration, the border, the people pouring across our border that are from all over the world.”

He added that the “worst of the worst are being sent to a no-nonsense prison in El Salvador" before playing a video of recent deportations.

“We’ve set all-time records for the lowest number of illegal border crossings ever recorded,” he added.

- 'We're taking back our jobs'

Turning to economic policy, Trump highlighted a new executive order he signed earlier in the day that eases the burden on US automakers from his 25% tariffs on autos and auto parts.

“I’m giving them a little bit of a break," he said, "They’re going to make so much money. They’re going to have so many jobs.”

"I've already proudly imposed a 25% tariff on all foreign automobiles...This is going to create more jobs in this state and this country," he said.

“We’re taking back our jobs and protecting our great American auto workers,” he said. “Instead of putting China first, I’m putting Michigan first, and I’m putting America first.”

Trump said foreign leaders were eager for a deal with the US on trade.

“They’re coming from all over the world...They want to make a deal,” he said. “But we don’t have to -- we’re the ones that have the product.”
