President-elect Donald Trump’s team has outlined a series of executive orders that focus on energy, immigration, and government reform, signaling a dramatic policy shift from the outgoing Biden administration. These actions are expected to set the tone for Trump’s new term, with key reversals of Democratic policies and immediate action on high-priority issues.
Trump Plans Energy Overhaul
Trump’s team has prepared a detailed 35-page energy omnibus executive order that prioritizes unlocking energy pipelines and opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling. This directive will include new permitting processes for coal and natural gas industries and halt Green New Deal-related spending.
Reversing Remote Work Policies
The incoming administration is also set to reverse President Joe Biden’s rules allowing widespread remote work for federal employees. These changes come as part of broader government reform initiatives aimed at increasing federal workforce compliance and efficiency.
Immigration and Border Security Actions
Trump’s immigration plans include expanded expedited deportations for undocumented immigrants and policies targeting border security. These measures represent an intensification of Trump’s hardline immigration stance.
Tariffs and Trade Measures
The president-elect is expected to declare the U.S. trade deficit a “national emergency” and impose 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico. These moves are designed to assert stronger trade policies and reduce the trade deficit.
Pardons for January 6 Defendants
Trump has pledged to pardon a number of individuals charged in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. While aides have debated the scope of these pardons, Trump may issue them within the first minutes of his administration.
Saving TikTok from Federal Ban
In a surprise move, Trump has vowed to save TikTok from a federal ban. After a TruthSocial post announcing his intent, TikTok resumed operations in anticipation of a potential executive order overturning the ban.
