Donald Trump was sworn in as the country’s president for a second term on Monday local time. He gave several surprises on the first day of assuming office as announced. There may be more surprises ahead.
Various media reports have already indicated that Trump may announce 200 executive orders within hours of being sworn in as the 47th president. A simple matter. Such orders have legal weight. But the next president or the court can cancel these orders if they want. And he has implemented a lot of it.
The executive orders that Donald Trump has announced and can forward on the first day of his inauguration are highlighted for readers—
Immigration: One of the executive orders that Donald Trump has signed after taking office in the Oval Office is the national border on the southern border of the United States. State of emergency issued. Another is citizenship by birth law. After signing them, Trump said, these issues are one of the most important. From the first day of taking office as president, Trump promised to launch the largest-scale immigration deportation program in the history of the United States. He also called for a national border emergency and ordering the military to help secure the southern border. Trump said he was going to end a long-standing policy on immigration. Due to this policy, the central immigration authorities could not raid schools and churches.
If someone is born in the United States, he or she becomes a citizen of the country by birth. Trump called this 150-year-old constitutional right “ridiculous”. He also promised to cancel this provision one day. After taking the oath, he signed the executive order in this regard. However, it is difficult to change this policy by executive order alone. Because, the US Constitution guarantees citizenship by birth.
Mexico Policy: Trump may very soon take the initiative to implement his ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy again. He adopted this policy in his first term. About 70,000 non-Mexico asylum seekers in the United States were asked to wait in Mexico for a hearing.
Border Closure: The action taken in 1944 is known as Title 42. Under this, the US government can reduce immigration to ensure the protection of public health. Title 42 was used during the last corona pandemic. However, according to various US media reports, the incoming Trump administration is looking for a disease that will help justify plans to close the US southern border with Mexico.
Drug cartels: Donald Trump is expected to classify drug cartels as ‘foreign terrorist organizations’. The list includes groups such as al-Qaeda, the so-called Islamic State and Hamas.
Border Wall: When Donald Trump was first elected US president in 2016, he signed an executive order to build a border wall. A portion of the wall has been constructed but a large portion remains incomplete. Trump may be able to finish that job this time. Tariffs: Trump has promised massive tariffs on imported goods as part of his pledge to prioritize the US manufacturing sector. During his first term as president, Trump imposed tariffs on imported goods from various countries, including China. Joe Biden maintained that after coming to power.
However, this time Trump has promised to impose 10 percent tariffs on all types of imported goods. Among these, 25 percent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican products and 60 percent tariffs on Chinese products may be imposed. Experts said these tariffs could make consumer goods more expensive and increase inflation. Some countries are considering retaliatory tariffs against it.
Crypto stocks: Trump has always been in favor of cryptocurrencies. After he was elected US President, the price of Bitcoin increased by 30 percent. Many believe Trump will move too quickly to create a central repository of Bitcoin. It will be a strategic stockpile like US oil and gold. According to Trump, it will serve as a permanent national asset for the benefit of Americans.
Climate Policy: Outgoing US President Joe Biden has directed several directives, legislation and funding programs to increase environmentally friendly jobs, control pollution and fund infrastructure. He sees this as one of his major achievements.
Trump has made it clear that he wants to undo most of the steps taken by Biden. Trump is expected to issue an executive order to lift restrictions on offshore and central land drilling. Trump has also promised to repeal a ban on new wind-farm projects and an electric car mandate.
Within six months of taking office in 2017, Trump pulled out of the Paris climate accord. It is an international landmark agreement aimed at reducing the level of global warming. On his first day in office in 2021, Joe Biden took the initiative to rejoin the agreement. However, Trump is expected to withdraw from the agreement again. Meanwhile, he signed an executive order to withdraw from the Paris climate accord. Biden has signed 78 executive orders repealing the era. Trump promised the crowd that he would sign more executive orders when he returned to the White House.
Riots on Capitol Hill: Donald Trump signed an executive order to release nearly 1,500 of his supporters from prison shortly after being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. Hundreds of people were convicted after rioting on US Capitol Hill in 2021. In an interview with CNN, Trump said, “I’m willing to pardon many of them.” But I can’t say this for everyone. Because one or two of them probably went out of control. More than 1500 people were arrested for their involvement in the attack. At least 600 of them were charged with assault and obstruction of central officials.
