Washington: US President Donald Trump unveiled plans to issue a series of executive orders and directives targeting key areas from energy to immigration to straighten out his administration’s priorities.
Two sources familiar with the plans said more than 200 such orders and directives could be issued in what is known internally as a “shock and awe” effort.
Here’s what we know about the executive orders so far:
Immigration
In an inaugural address shortly after being sworn in for a second term in the White House, Trump said he would declare illegal immigration a national emergency, send troops to the US-Mexico border and end his “stay in Mexico” policy. Will restore.
He also said he would seek to stop all illegal entry and detain all immigrants caught crossing illegally as part of a larger immigration crackdown that would include deportation. Expect to join.
Trump will issue a major announcement aimed at blocking all refugee access at the Mexican border, an incoming Trump administration official said. The official said he would also issue an executive order aimed at ending the birthright citizenship of US-born children whose parents do not have legal immigration status.
Citing the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, the official said at a briefing: “The federal government will not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the United States. Testing and screening are also going to be increased.”
The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution provides for the granting of citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States”. Any move by Trump to end birthright citizenship would face a legal challenge.
Energy
Trump said he would immediately declare a national energy emergency, pledging to replenish strategic oil reserves and export US energy around the world.
“We will become a rich nation again and it is the liquid gold under our feet that will help us do that,” he said.
Trump, who vowed to “drill, baby, drill” during his campaign, will also sign an executive order focused on Alaska, an incoming administration official said, adding that the U.S. state important to national security and may permit its export. Natural gas to the United States and other parts of the Allies.
The US will also withdraw from the Paris climate accord, according to a White House document. In addition, Trump said he would repeal what he called the electric vehicle mandate.
According to a document seen by Reuters, members of his team plan to end support for EVs and charging stations and strengthen measures to curb imports of cars, parts and battery materials from China. Recommending changes.
They also recommended imposing global tariffs on all battery materials, an effort to boost U.S. production, and then negotiating individual exemptions with allies, the document shows.
Trump’s executive orders would likely roll back the Biden administration’s climate regulations on power plants, end a moratorium on LNG gas exports, and revoke waivers allowing California and other states to impose stricter pollution rules. Will try to.
Tariff
Trump on Monday said he would impose tariffs and taxes on countries to enrich Americans, promised to restore the trading system, and said the US would establish an “external revenue service”.
“We are setting up the External Revenue Service to collect all taxes, duties and levies. It will add huge money to our coffers, which will come from foreign sources,” he said.
Trump will issue a sweeping trade memo on Monday that stops short of imposing new tariffs on his first day in office, but instead directs federal agencies to review U.S. trade relations with China, Canada and Mexico, an incoming Trump administration official said. Directs to take.
The Republican president has promised to impose import surcharges of 10% on global imports, 60% on Chinese goods and 25% on Canadian and Mexican products, duties that could increase trade flows, raise costs and trigger retaliation. can
The official confirmed the Wall Street Journal report, saying Trump would direct agencies to continue investigating and correcting trade deficits and dealing with unfair trade and currency policies of other countries.
The official said the memo would single out China, Canada and Mexico for scrutiny but would not announce new tariffs. It will direct agencies to review Beijing’s compliance with the 2020 trade deal with the United States, as well as the status of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, the official said.
Trump believes the tariffs will help boost U.S. economic growth, though opponents have warned the costs would likely be passed on to consumers.
Transgender rights
Trump said his administration’s policy would be to have only two genders, male and female. The president has vowed to sign an executive order ending transgender rights in the US military and US schools.
As for transgender athletes, he said at a rally on Sunday that he would take action to prevent transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports on his first day.
Diversity programs
An incoming White House official said Monday that Trump will also issue orders to end “radical and wasteful” diversity, equity and inclusion programs within the federal government.
During his first term, Trump signed an executive order to curtail efforts to address racial disparities in the workplace, including programs including diversity training within companies.
Biden reversed that executive order on his first day in office in January 2021, and Trump is likely to reinstate his original order early in his second term, and perhaps on his first day in office.
Trump has also criticized “diversity, equity and inclusion” policies within universities.
Forgiveness
Trump has also said he would act immediately upon taking office to issue pardons for some of the hundreds of people convicted in connection with the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol by his supporters.
Gender-affirming care
Trump said in a campaign video in 2023 that on his first day in office he would rescind the Biden administration’s policies that provided information and resources to people seeking medical care to reassign their bodies to their gender. Be able to sort according to what they identify. This care may include hormone therapy and surgery.
Drug cartels
Trump said Monday he would also invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to crack down on foreign gangs and designate cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, fulfilling a campaign promise he made. What happened during the crackdown on sources of the deadly opioid fentanyl?
Federal workers need to return to the office.
Trump has railed against work-from-home arrangements for tens of thousands of federal employees, which have skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and has vowed to end them.
In December, Trump said that if federal workers refuse to return to office, “they will be fired.”
By forcing civil servants back into office, Trump and his allies hope it could trigger mass resignations, helping their goal of shrinking the size of the federal bureaucracy.
