President Trump Issues Series of Executive Orders Addressing Immigration, Energy, and Government Policies
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Since resuming office on January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders shaping key policy areas, including immigration, energy, and government operations.
Immigration and Border Security
In one of his first major actions, President Trump declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, authorizing the deployment of military forces to enhance security and expedite deportations of individuals in the country illegally. He also issued an order ending birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants, a decision likely to face legal challenges. Additionally, the administration reinstated the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy, requiring asylum seekers to stay in Mexico while awaiting U.S. immigration court decisions.
Energy and Environmental Policy
Reversing previous climate commitments, Trump signed an order withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement, arguing that the pact unfairly burdens American businesses. He also declared a national energy emergency, aimed at accelerating domestic oil and natural gas production by reducing regulatory barriers.
Social Policies
In a controversial move, the president issued an executive order defining gender strictly as male or female based on biological characteristics at birth. Furthermore, he directed federal agencies to eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, asserting a return to merit-based hiring and operations.
Technology and Trade
Trump also took action in the technology sector, delaying the enforcement of a TikTok ban for 75 days to explore potential resolutions. Additionally, he ordered a comprehensive review of U.S. trade policies, focusing on agreements with China, Canada, and Mexico to assess their impact on American industries.
Government Operations
The administration has implemented a federal hiring freeze, excluding military and public safety positions, in an effort to reduce government spending. Another order mandates a full return to in-person work for federal employees, ending remote work arrangements that had persisted since the COVID-19 pandemic.
These executive orders highlight the administration’s priorities and signal a shift in policy direction across multiple sectors. Some of these orders are historical and will have a far reaching impact all over the world. This is the beginning of a golden era for USA and the entire world.
