President Donald Trump on Monday took the first steps to enact his sweeping agenda with a series of executive actions that are expected to kickstart his promised transformation of the federal government. On the first day of his second term, Trump took a moment during his first post-inauguration rally to sign several actions that remove the US from the Paris climate agreement, freeze hiring in the federal government and require federal workers to return to the office. And in the Oval Office hours later, Trump signed actions that pardoned those charged with crimes related to the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, delayed the ban on TikTok and worked to revamp the American immigration system. “With these actions, we will begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense,” Trump said during his inaugural address after being sworn in as the nation’s 47th president. He added: “The Golden Age of America begins right now.” The actions are the culmination of multiple pledges Trump made in his successful 2024 campaign, and other initiatives that were floated during his first term but ultimately did not come to pass. They don’t all have a clear path to realization, and some of the most significant actions are likely to be challenged in court. Here are some of the actions Trump took on his first day in office:
