Withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement to abolishing remote work culture: Executive actions by Trump
During his inaugural address, during which he proclaimed "The golden age of America begins right now," Trump revealed the extensive executive actions for the initial day of his second term.
Shortly after being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, Donald Trump enacted numerous executive orders. Key among them were those aimed at regaining control over the federal workforce, exiting the Paris climate agreement, and dismantling the remote work culture.
In his inaugural address, where he stated "The golden age of America begins right now," Trump highlighted the comprehensive executive actions for the first day of his second term. He enthusiastically signed several key orders in front of an applauding audience.
Here are the initial executive actions taken by President Donald Trump:
Canceling 78 executive actions from the Biden administration
After watching the presidential parade, Trump signed approximately 80 executive orders to reverse the initiatives implemented by the Biden administration. "We will sign executive orders first to overturn almost 80 'destructive' and 'radical' executive actions of the former administration," he stated.
Mandating a return to full-time, in-person work
One of the initial executive orders the US President signed mandated the end of remote work for federal workers. This decision followed Trump's commitment to abolish the work-from-home (WFH) practice that became prevalent during the Covid-19 pandemic. In a recent news conference at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, Trump indicated that he intended to terminate federal employees who fail to return to the office as required by the order.
Imposing a freeze on federal employment except ...
On his first day back in office, Trump enforced a federal hiring freeze, similar to an action he undertook at the beginning of his first term to attempt to shrink the government. While signing the order for a temporary hiring halt, Trump remarked that it is "to ensure that we are only bringing on competent individuals who are loyal to the American people."
Exiting the Paris climate agreement
In a setback for global initiatives to address climate change, Donald Trump, on January 20, signed an order to withdraw the United States, a leading carbon-emitting country, from the Paris climate accord. The US President also provided a letter to the United Nations expressing his desire to exit the 2015 agreement, with the withdrawal process expected to take one year.
Upholding freedom of speech and preventing censorship
Donald Trump issued orders aimed at ensuring that federal agencies could not suppress free speech in response to alleged government censorship. He argued that these measures are essential for restoring public trust in governmental institutions.
