After swearing in as the 47th President of the U.S., Donald Trump issued numerous executive orders on various issues: immigration, climate change, and diversity.
On his first day as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders covering topics such as immigration, climate change, and diversity, making a strong start to his new term.
The Republican took advantage of his return to power to issue directives and memorandums addressing multiple political priorities. While these orders have an immediate impact, they can be overturned by future presidents or legally challenged. Trump reportedly planned to sign nearly 200 orders on his first day, an unprecedented number in recent history.

National Emergency at the Border
From the Oval Office, Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border and suspended automatic citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. He also reinstated the “Remain in Mexico” program and ordered a four-month suspension of refugee resettlement. Furthermore, he revived the construction of the border wall, though how it would be financed was not specified.
Designation of Criminal Groups
Trump classified drug cartels and gangs as terrorist organizations, adding groups like MS-13 and the Tren de Aragua to a list that includes al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Goodbye to the WHO
For the second time, Trump ordered the United States to withdraw from the World Health Organization, accusing the body of mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic.

Restrictions on Diversity and Gender
The president signed an order that limits the official recognition of gender to male and female, overturning inclusive policies. He also eliminated diversity, equity, and inclusion programs across all federal agencies and emphasized that workers would enter based on merit, not quotas.
Economy and Climate Change
Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Agreement and declared a national energy emergency, as he plans to implement his own carbon reduction program. He also canceled initiatives from the Green New Deal, as he wants to revitalize the exploitation of resources like oil and gas, the latter being less polluting than coal, which is used in China.

Capitol Riots
In a controversial move, Trump pardoned 1,500 individuals involved in the 2021 Capitol riots and commuted the sentences of members of the extremist groups Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
With these measures, Trump sends a clear message about the direction of his administration, challenging established norms and prioritizing his most controversial policies.
