Trump Rescinds 18 Biden-Era Executive Orders in Ongoing Policy Reversal

The latest actions bring the total number of Biden-era orders revoked by Trump to nearly 100 as part of efforts to reshape federal policies and reduce government functions.

• President Trump signed an executive order on Friday revoking 18 executive actions issued during Biden's presidency, targeting policies on labor, energy, and gender rights.
• Among the rescinded orders are those increasing the minimum wage for federal contractors, promoting clean energy technologies, and advancing LGBTQ+ rights globally.
• Trump's administration cited the reversals as necessary to reduce government spending, streamline agency functions, and eliminate what it described as 'radical' policies.
• The rollback also included ending Biden's use of the Defense Production Act for clean energy manufacturing and reversing workplace safety and unionization initiatives.
• Trump has downsized several government agencies, including the Arctic Research Commission and the U.S. Agency for Global Media, as part of cost-cutting measures.
