Trump Unveils Bold Agenda with Executive Orders on Day One

On his first day back in office, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders addressing key priorities, including immigration, energy, and regulatory reforms. Trump announced the reversal of 78 executive actions from the previous administration, pledging to preserve records of political investigations under President Biden.

Trump ordered freezes on federal hiring and new regulations while mandating government employees return to in-person work. These measures aim to streamline government operations and reduce bureaucracy.

Energy policies took center stage as Trump declared a national energy emergency, emphasizing oil reserves and rejecting renewable energy initiatives like wind farms. He also confirmed U.S. withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, citing a commitment to prioritize American interests.

Immigration reforms included declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, enhanced deportation measures, and the potential targeting of birthright citizenship. Trump also ended the Biden-era CBP One program that allowed migrants to legally schedule border entry appointments.

Trade policies included evaluating tariffs on global imports, with a focus on China, Mexico, and Canada. Trump aims to enforce stricter trade regulations to address deficits and protect American jobs.

Other directives rolled back diversity programs and transgender rights in the military and schools. Trump also vowed to prohibit transgender participation in women’s sports and end federal support for gender transition care.

Additionally, the president is preparing to pardon non-violent participants in the January 6 Capitol attack, signaling a controversial start to his term.

These actions highlight Trump’s effort to reshape federal policies swiftly, focusing on energy independence, immigration control, and reducing government size. Critics warn of potential social and economic repercussions, while supporters applaud his decisive return.
