Jan 20, 2025, 03:53 PM

President Donald Trump is set to sign a series of executive orders on his first day in office, following his inauguration. The signing will take place in two locations: first at the U.S. Capitol after his swearing-in, and then at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., where 20,000 supporters are gathered to watch the inauguration indoors due to cold weather. Trump's advisers have indicated that he plans to sign over 200 executive orders, with some being grouped into an 'omnibus' executive action to streamline the process. Among the anticipated orders are actions related to declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, deploying U.S. troops to the border, rescinding diversity, equity, and inclusion directives, designating cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and repealing rules on electric vehicles and offshore drilling. The official U.S. Presidential Seal has been placed on the desk at the Capital One Arena, signifying the importance of the event.
