Which executive orders did Mr. Trump sign on 'Day 1'

On his first day back at the White House, President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders, including repealing executive orders from Joe Biden's time and withdrawing the US from the Paris Climate Agreement. Trump once told Fox News host Sean Hannity during his election campaign that he would take decisive action on the "first day" and use his presidential power to close the southern border with Mexico and expand oil drilling. "After that, I didn't act like that anymore," he said. When Mr. Trump started signing executive orders on January 20th, the speed of issuance was shocking and astounding. The new president-elect has pledged in his inaugural speech that these decrees will bring about "the complete recovery of the United States". Here's what we know so far about the most important executive orders and actions that Trump has signed on "Day 1". Terminate citizenship by place of birth Order: Along with a series of orders focusing on immigration issues, Mr. Trump is targeting automatic citizenship for children born in the US of undocumented immigrants, starting 30 days from 20/1. What did Mr. Trump say: The order specifies that it will restrict the citizenship rights based on birthplace if "the mother of a person is unlawfully present in the United States and the father of that person is not a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident at the time of that person's birth" or "when the presence of that person's mother in the United States at the time of that person's birth is legal but temporary". Meaning of the order: Citizenship by place of birth, ensuring citizenship for anyone born in the US, protected by the 14th Amendment and any efforts to revoke this right may lead to immediate legal challenges. This order attempts to deny US citizenship papers to individuals meeting those criteria and born in the US after 30 days from the date of the order. Leave the World Health Organization Order: Mr. Trump has signed an order requiring the US to leave the World Health Organization (WHO). What did Mr. Trump say: "WHO has deceived us, everyone has deceived the United States. That will not happen again," Mr. Trump said when signing on January 20th. He accused WHO of mishandling the Covid-19 pandemic and other international health crises. Meaning: The US will leave the WHO in 12 months and stop all financial contributions to its operations. The world's largest economy is currently the largest sponsor of this United Nations health agency. Renaming of the Gulf of Mexico Order: Mr. Trump has requested to rename two places: Gulf of Mexico and Denali of Alaska. What did Mr. Trump say: "President Trump is bringing wisdom to the government and renewing the pillars of American civilization," part of the executive order stated. Meaning: President Trump has requested to rename the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America", he announced that at a press conference earlier this month. He also renamed Alaska's Mount Denali to Mount McKinley, returning to the original name changed by former President Barack Obama in 2015 to reflect the tradition of the Native Alaskans as well as the desire of many Alaska residents. This will not affect the names used globally for these places. Cancel electric car target Order: Mr. Trump has canceled the non-binding executive order signed by Mr. Joe Biden to convert half of new cars sold in 2030 into electric vehicles. What did Mr. Trump say: "The United States will not destroy its industries while China pollutes without being punished," Mr. Trump said on the afternoon of January 20. Meaning: Originally part of Biden's effort to repeal environmental protections, Trump also committed to rolling back car pollution standards that the Biden administration had finalized last spring. Reclassify federal employees to make it easier to dismiss them Order: President Trump's executive order has reclassified thousands of federal employees as political appointees, making them much more vulnerable to dismissal. What did Mr. Trump say: The president's aides have long praised the firing of a number of government employees as part of an assault on the so-called "deep state". Meaning: President Trump truly restored 'Executive Order F', an executive order he signed in the final year of his first term, aimed at reclassifying tens of thousands of federal employees. (Mr. Biden later rescinded the order). Mr. Trump's key aides called for the mass firing of government officials. The 2025 project turned attacks on the 'administrative' state into a core part of Trump's second term. The conservative party's strategy calls for the dismissal of officials deemed politically unreliable and their replacement with conservatives. National energy emergency declaration Executive Order: Trump declared a national energy emergency as part of a series of pro-fossil fuel actions and efforts to "unleash" booming U.S. energy production, including lifting restrictions on drilling in Alaska and rescinding a moratorium on gas exports. What did Mr. Trump say: An order means "you can do whatever it takes to get out of that problem and we are really facing such an emergency", Mr. Trump said at the White House on the evening of January 20th. The meaning of the order: The order will allow the Trump administration to expedite the process of granting licenses for new fossil fuel infrastructure. This order, which is part of a broader effort to roll back climate policies, may face legal challenges. Create a policy that only recognizes two genders Order: President Trump has signed an order to remove 'guidance on gender identity' from federal government communications, policies, and forms. This order formalizes the policy that 'there are only two genders, male and female'. What did Mr. Trump say: "Agencies will no longer see that men can be women and women can be men when enforcing gender discrimination protection laws," the order states. The meaning of the order: The order reverses the legal actions of the Biden administration regarding the acceptance of gender forms. Pause TikTok ban order Order: President Trump has signed an executive order temporarily postponing the enforcement of the federal ban on TikTok for at least 75 days. "I think I have a little bit of a soft spot for TikTok that I didn't have before," said Mr. Trump at the White House as he signed executive orders. Meaning: President Trump has instructed his Attorney General not to enforce the law requiring the sale of TikTok. The leader said the temporary suspension order allows time to outline a "suitable path" to protect national security and not abruptly shut down this popular app. In his first term, Trump supported the TikTok ban order, but later changed his position due to factors including his own popularity on the app. Cancel 78 executive orders under Biden Order: Mr. Trump has issued an order to revoke 78 executive orders during Mr. Joe Biden's term, including at least 10 orders supporting racial justice and anti-discrimination against LGBTQ+ people. What did Mr. Trump say: "I will revoke nearly 80 destructive and extreme executive orders of the previous administration," Mr. Trump told the crowd in Washington after his inauguration speech. He also stated that he will end the policy of "trying to bring race and gender into every aspect of public and private life" and promote a society that is "colorblind and merit-based." Meaning: These orders signal a reversal of Biden's policy of prioritizing diverse measures across the federal government. Trump revoked the orders signed by Biden to promote racial equity for underserved communities and orders against discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation mentioned above. Declaration of National Border Emergency Order: President Trump signed an order at the White House declaring a state of emergency at the southern border of the United States, along with some other immigration-related policies. What did Mr. Trump say: "Any illegal immigration will be immediately stopped and we will begin the process of returning millions of illegal immigrants to their place of origin," Mr. Trump said in his inaugural speech on January 20th at the Capitol. Meaning of the order: The executive order paves the way for the deployment of the US military to the southern border and fulfills campaign promises on implementing strict immigration policies. There is very little detailed information on how the government plans to carry out a series of actions to prevent immigration, but it is likely to face legal and logistical challenges. Immigrant communities across the United States are preparing to deal with the threat of Trump's "largest deportation program in US history", starting as early as the morning of January 21st. Pardon orders for many people accused in the case related to 6/1/2021 Order: Mr. Trump has ordered pardons for those convicted and reduced sentences related to the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. He will instruct the Department of Justice to dismiss ongoing cases. What did Mr. Trump say: "I will sign an amnesty order for the J6 hostages to set them free," Mr. Trump said in his campaign speech. "We will grant amnesty to many people, many people." Mr. Trump said he has pardoned about 1,500 people charged in the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol and reduced the sentences of 6 people. The meaning of the pardon order: Mr. Trump has committed to pardoning those convicted in connection with the Capitol attack on 6/1/2021 - making it a core part of his reelection campaign. Over 1,500 individuals have been federally charged with related offenses. With Trump's return to the White House, the Department of Justice's investigations into the criminal acts on 6//20211 are expected to conclude. Withdraw from the Paris climate agreement Order: Mr. Trump has issued an executive order to withdraw the US from the 2015 Paris Agreement, along with a letter notifying the United Nations of this decision. What did Mr. Trump say: "I will immediately withdraw from this unfair and biased Paris climate agreement," Mr. Trump said in front of a crowd at the Capital One Arena in Washington on January 20th. In his inauguration speech, Mr. Trump stated that he would use executive orders to "terminate the new Green Agreement." Meaning: In 2017, Mr. Trump withdrew the US from the Paris agreement. Upon taking office in 2021, Mr. Biden brought the US back into the agreement. Mr. Trump's executive order on January 20th fulfilled a campaign promise to withdraw from the 2015 global agreement aimed at avoiding the worst impacts of the climate crisis. Withdrawing from the Paris agreement is part of Trump's broader efforts to reverse climate protection policies and measures. Trump has described the Biden administration's efforts to develop clean energy in the United States as a "new green fraud." DYOR! #Write2Earn #Write&Earn $BTC {spot}(BTCUSDT)
