President Trump signs dozens of executive orders - Pardons Capitol rebels, withdraws from Paris Agreement, declares emergency on southern border
Upon taking office in the White House, United States President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders. The first seven orders were signed at Capital One Arena, including pardoning all those who participated in the January 6, 2021, attack on Capitol Hill and repealing 78 laws signed by Joe Biden.
"Can you imagine Biden doing something like that? He would never do that," the president said, drawing laughter from supporters.
These are the main executive orders signed by the new president:
- The United States' withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement. "We'll save three billion dollars," his adviser said as he gave him the order to sign it.
- Ban on working from home for federal employees.
- Joe Biden's executive order setting a target of 50% of new electric vehicle sales by 2030 was rescinded.
– Joe Biden's executive order on artificial intelligence was canceled, a move that paves the way for billion-dollar businesses in this sector.
- Declaring a national emergency at the southern border of the United States. In addition, Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders on immigration, including designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
"Mexico may not agree, but we have to do what's right," the president said, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office. The national emergency order on the southern border could trigger the deployment of additional Pentagon resources and military forces to complete the border wall.
- The “rescue” of TikTok. “It’s an app that young people use, and if China steals young people’s data, frankly, it’s not a big deal,” the president said in the Oval Office. “We have bigger problems,” he added.
- The removal of Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism decided by Joe Biden has been revoked.
– The US is leaving the World Health Organization, as in Trump's first term.
- Sanctions against Israeli settlers in the West Bank are lifted.
- President Donald Trump fired four senior administration officials appointed by his predecessor on Tuesday morning and warned — in his first post on his Truth Social network since taking office — that more than "a thousand others" also risked the same fate. "My Office of Presidential Personnel is actively identifying and removing more than a thousand appointees from the previous administration who are not aligned with our vision for Making America Great Again," the post said.
