Donald Trump Begins Second Term with Sweeping Executive Actions

The 47th president launched his term with over 200 executive orders targeting immigration, energy policy, and diversity initiatives.

  • Trump signed executive orders declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, reinstating the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, and ending birthright citizenship, though legal challenges are expected.
  • He withdrew the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement, rolled back environmental regulations, and declared an energy emergency to boost fossil fuel production.
  • The president issued pardons for nearly 1,600 individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol attack and ended pending prosecutions related to the event.
  • Trump's Cabinet confirmations began with Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, signaling a hawkish foreign policy approach, while other controversial nominees await Senate approval.
  • The administration also introduced measures to end telework for federal employees, freeze federal hiring, and eliminate diversity and inclusion policies across government agencies.
