From border walls to energy: Trump’s bold executive actions detailed
World news: President-elect Donald Trump plans to sign over 200 executive orders on his first day in office, focusing on border security, energy independence, and significant government reforms, including the termination of diversity programs and redefining national priorities.
World news: President-elect Donald Trump has announced that he will sign more than 200 executive orders on his first day in office, including issues on border security, energy independence, and government reform. He aims to "fundamentally reform the American government" and restore national sovereignty, said a senior administration official. Among the actions are omnibus executive orders, which would consolidate multiple significant reforms into one directive.
Border security takes center stage
A national border emergency will be declared at the top of that list. He will order U.S. troops and DHS to seal the border. He has promised to deliver a proclamation which will close this border to the illegal aliens in the country as well as build task forces by FBI, ICE, and many other agencies responsible for dismantling criminal cartels. According to the report, these cartels will be assigned as foreign terrorist organizations, an act that has given new power to combat those activities.
Administration The administration will revive the "Remain in Mexico" policy, "Catch and Release" provisions, speed border wall construction, and provide emergency powers to expel illegal immigrants directly to their home countries.
Energy policy and national security
Trump’s first-day agenda includes a focus on energy independence, particularly by maximizing Alaskan energy resources. Highlighting the importance of energy security, he intends to “fully unleash” Alaskan energy to solidify its role in national security.
Reform across federal agencies
In issues of government transparency and accountability, the president-elect will be responding by suspending the security clearances of 51 national security officials connected with controversies such as the Hunter Biden laptop case. Trump will end all diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at the federal level.
Cultural and historical changes
Trump's orders will also stretch to redefine cultural and historical narratives. He is set to create a clear definition of biological sex and rename geographical locations, including the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America." These initiatives underline his administration's broader goal of restructuring federal priorities.
