Jan 20, 2025, 01:58 AM

President-elect Donald Trump plans to sign over 200 executive orders on his first day in office, according to sources cited by Fox News. The orders are expected to focus on border security, energy policies, reducing living costs for American families, and ending diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the federal government. Key actions include declaring a national emergency at the southern border, issuing a proclamation to close the border, directing the military to construct a new phase of the border wall, and designating Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. Trump also intends to reinstate the 'Remain in Mexico' policy while ending 'Catch and Release.' In energy policy, he plans to overturn drilling restrictions and withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. Trump stated, 'Within hours of taking office I will sign dozens of executive orders—close to 100 to be exact.' The executive orders aim to reverse policies from the Biden administration and fulfill Trump's campaign promises.
