Trump plans record-setting executive actions on first day in office – Fox News
Investing.com– President-elect Donald Trump is set to implement over 200 executive actions on his first day in office, Fox News Digital reported on Sunday, citing a senior administration official.
The comprehensive measures will address a broad range of policy areas including border security, energy production, federal bureaucracy, and cost-of-living reductions for Americans, the report stated.
Trump will sign multiple omnibus executive orders containing dozens of actions. These include declaring a national border emergency, directing the military and the Department of Homeland Security to secure the southern border, and targeting criminal cartels operating within the U.S. by designating them as foreign terrorist organizations, the Fox report said.
He plans to reinstate policies like “Remain in Mexico” and “Catch and Release” while initiating new phases of border wall construction, it added.
In energy policy, the President-elect will declare a national energy emergency, ending offshore wind leases and repealing Biden-era restrictions on oil, gas, and pipeline projects. The administration aims to fully leverage Alaskan energy resources and withdraw the U.S. from agreements such as the Paris Climate Accord, the report stated.
The sweeping reforms will include federal hiring freezes, merit-based staffing, and eliminating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across the government. Trump also intends to suspend security clearances for officials tied to controversial actions before the 2020 election, according to the report.
Trump’s extensive actions will mark an unprecedented beginning to a U.S. presidency, reaffirming his campaign promise of restoring American greatness, the Fox report said.
