Fox News reported that the United States will witness a major change when President Donald Trump will issue more than 200 executive actions on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2025, marking a historic policy shift focusing on issues he promised during the election campaign, including border security, energy, reducing the cost of living and eliminating "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" (DEI) programs in the federal government. Mr. Trump also announced that he would announce executive orders that could make the American people "very happy".
Comprehensive reform from the border to the government apparatus
The executive orders will include:
Ending "Catch and Release" at the Border;
Suspend all offshore wind power contracts;
Remove mandatory electric vehicle regulations;
Withdrawing the US from the Paris Climate Agreement;
Repeal the “Green New Deal” and take several key steps to assert presidential control over the federal bureaucracy.
President Donald Trump will sign several “combo” executive orders, each containing dozens of major executive actions, the official said.
"The president will issue a historic series of executive orders and executive actions to fundamentally reform the United States government, including the full and complete restoration of American sovereignty," the official told Fox News.
Mr. Trump will also declare a national emergency at the border, instruct the military to cooperate with the Department of Homeland Security to ensure maximum security at the southern border, and establish special task forces to fight crime and gangs.
Restoring sovereignty and promoting national energy
Mr. Trump is expected to remove current restrictions or regulations to fully exploit Alaska's energy potential, from gas, oil and other energy sources.
This is seen as part of a strategy to increase US energy independence, reduce dependence on foreign energy sources and protect national security.
Mr Trump's energy policies would reverse all the regulations that the Biden administration has put in place, which Mr Trump said were "strangling the US energy supply".
Eliminate DEI and reform government altogether
Among his first executive orders, Trump will end all DEI programs in the federal government and redefine gender in biological terms. He will also freeze federal hiring and restructure the civil service with new qualifications.
“Mr. Trump will assert strong control over the executive branch, ensuring that the government only serves the interests of the American people,” the senior official said.
Protecting freedom of speech and reducing costs for citizens
Mr. Trump will issue an executive order protecting free speech, eliminating federal censorship, and directing agencies to reduce regulations that increase the cost of living for American families.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt affirmed: "As soon as Mr. Trump puts his hand on the Bible to take the oath, the golden age of America will begin."
A senior official described the number of executive actions and executive orders expected to be issued as “shocking and awe-inspiring on an unprecedented scale.” With more than 200 executive actions, Mr. Trump will reaffirm his commitment to “promises kept” and start a new chapter for America.
