Early polls show Gore with a 56% approval rating while his predecessor has a 66% approval rating. The Senate confirms all of Gore's nominees. Exactly one month after Gore taking office, the Republican controlled congress blocks passage of a bill requiring that the United States should enter the Kyoto protocol. Before a televised address to the nation, Gore announces tax increases to both speed the growth of the budget surplus and pay for social security over the long term. The Hainan Island incident occurs when a U.S. Navy EP-3E signals reconnaissance aircraft and a People's Liberation Army Navy J-8II fighter jet collide over Hainan Island, resulting in an international incident between the United States and China. Gore asks that China forgive the incident and release U.S prisoners. They are later released and returned to the U.S.. President Gore visits London to meet with European leaders and discuss the challenges facing NATO and the European Union in the twenty first century. A gallup poll is released showing Gore with a 52% approval rating. Gore signs an executive order that commands the removal of U.S troops from Turkey. The move is seen as the first of Gore's attempts to create better relations with Russia.

The terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden is arrested in London when he is sold out by three of his Leiutenants. America collectively breathes a sigh of relief. Three terrorists escape and succed in destroying Camp David, however it is empty at the time therefore there are no casualties other than the terrorists and the passengers.
