President Trump touted his administration's commitment to fulfilling his campaign-trail promises Wednesday.

One by one we are keeping our promises - on the border, on energy, on jobs, on regulations. Big changes are happening! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 12, 2017

Jobs are returning, illegal immigration is plummeting, law, order and justice are being restored. We are truly making America great again! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 13, 2017

In public remarks and interviews that Wednesday, Trump seemed to reverse course on several major points.

During a press conference Wednesday afternoon with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Trump backtracked on comments he made during the campaign, saying the Western alliance was "no longer obsolete."

Over the course of the campaign, Trump frequently criticized NATO for not focusing on terrorism and hit NATO allies for not paying their "fair share."

But that wasn't the only policy shift for the Trump administration Wednesday. In a wide-ranging interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump changed his stance on the Export-Import Bank, Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen and labeling China a currency manipulator.

He also seemed to be taking a different stance toward Russia and Syrian President Bashar Assad in the wake of a chemical attack in Syria, which U.S. and Western officials have blamed on Assad, and the United States' subsequent missile strike against a Syrian military airfield.

Trump has taken strides in his pledges to roll back Obama-era regulations, particularly on the environment, and has taken steps to crack down on illegal immigration. His administration has also promoted recent numbers from the Department of Homeland Security showing a steep drop in the number of people detained at the Mexican border.
