Trump To Sign More Than 200 Executive Actions During First Days In Office: Reports
HuffPost
Trump’s slate of orders will touch on many of his broad campaign promises, including vast changes to the border and environmental policy.
President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly sign upwards of 200 executive actions when he enters the White House on Monday, moving quickly to shape the federal government to his will and erase the presence of the Biden administration.
Fox News and The Washington Post both reported Sunday that Trump’s slate of orders will touch on many of his broad campaign promises, including vast changes to border policy and a declaration calling migrant crossings a “crisis.” The Trump administration will move to rescind many of President Joe Biden’s environmental policies in Alaska and “fully unleash” the state’s energy reserves. And he will once again remove the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement and end clean energy efforts like offshore wind leases and electric vehicle programs.
“The president is issuing a historic series of executive orders and actions that will fundamentally reform the American government, including the complete and total restoration of American sovereignty,” an incoming senior administration official told Fox News of Trump’s upcoming plans. The official described them as “omnibus” executive orders that will each include dozens of executive actions.
Trump confirmed his day one plans at a victory rally in Washington on Sunday night, the eve of his inauguration, hinting as well that he plans to take action to grant broad clemency to those charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol.
Other actions will institute a hiring freeze as part of the new Department of Government Efficiency, Fox added.
