Donald Trump's historic return to the White House and Inauguration as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2024, already set about Implementing a series of Executive Orders aimed at reshaping the Nation's Policies.
Here are some key highlights from the event;
Immigration Reforms: Trump declared a National Emergency at the US-Mexico Border, fulfilling a campaign promise to tackle illegal immigration. His plans include ending Birthright Citizenship, reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy, and designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
Energy and Climate Actions: In a move that has sparked controversy, Trump has decided to withdraw the US from the Paris climate agreement once again. This decision is part of a broader strategy to promote fossil fuel use and reduce support for renewable energy initiatives.
Trade Policy Review: While no new tariffs were issued on his first day, Trump has directed federal agencies to review the US's trade practices with a focus on China, Canada, and Mexico. Markets are on edge, anticipating potential tariffs that could impact the economy.
Establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE): Trump has created the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to identify and eliminate Government waste. However, the task force is already facing challenges, including leadership changes and legal battles over its constitutionality.
Ending DEI Initiatives: Trump has announced the termination of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives across the Federal Government. This decision will eliminate programs related to environmental justice and equity grants.
Renaming Landmarks: Trump plans to rename Denali, America's tallest mountain, back to Mount McKinley. He also intends to rename the 'Gulf of Mexico' as 'the Gulf of America', which will require updates to federal maps.
