The return of Donald Trump
Donald Trump was sworn in as US president on Monday, signing series of executive orders that highlight the beginning of significant policy shifts to come.
Rescinding Biden-Era Executive Orders and Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord
President Trump rescinded 78 executive orders from the Biden administration, including the U.S.’s participation in the Paris Climate Accord. By withdrawing from the accord, the U.S. signaled a shift away from international climate commitments.
Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border
An executive order declared a national emergency at the southern border, aiming to halt illegal entry and initiate the process of returning individuals without legal status to their countries of origin. This order also reinstated the “Remain in Mexico” policy and ended the practice of “catch and release.”
Establishing the External Revenue Service
President Trump established the “External Revenue Service” through an executive order, focusing on imposing tariffs and taxes on foreign countries to benefit U.S. citizens. This move is intended to generate revenue by targeting international trade practices.
Ending Birthright Citizenship
An executive order was signed to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. This policy challenges the 14th Amendment and is expected to face significant legal challenges.
Implementing a Federal Hiring Freeze and Mandating In-Person Work
A hiring freeze for federal workers was instituted, along with a directive for federal employees to return to in-person work. These measures aim to reduce government spending and increase efficiency.
Creating the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
Through an executive order, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was created, with Elon Musk appointed to lead the initiative. The department’s goal is to streamline government operations and reduce costs.
Pardoning Individuals Convicted in Relation to the January 6 Capitol Riot
President Trump issued pardons for individuals convicted in relation to the January 6 Capitol riot, a move that has sparked controversy and debate.
Halting the Ban on TikTok
An executive order halted the ban on TikTok for 75 days, with a stipulation that U.S. ownership of half the company be established. This action reflects ongoing concerns over data security and foreign ownership of technology platforms.
