Trump is quickly announcing measures to implement many of his campaign promises, including commitments related to immigration, Energy, military, and federal workforce, describing many of the actions as a reversal of his predecessor Biden's policies.

Trump is quickly announcing measures to implement many of his campaign promises, including commitments related to immigration, Energy, military, and federal workforce, describing many of the actions as a reversal of his predecessor Biden's policies.

We will immediately restore the integrity, capability, and loyalty of the US government, Trump said in his inauguration speech on Monday.

Trump stated that he might sign about 100 executive orders, and the White House on Monday promised to take a series of unprecedented actions to abolish Biden's orders.

Through these actions, we will begin to fully restore the USA and launch a commonsense revolution, Trump said.

Many of Trump's orders are expected to face court challenges. Notably, on his first day back in office, there was little indication that he would immediately take tariff actions, which are a key component of his economic policy.

Below is a brief overview of the government plan based on his speech, briefings from new officials, and public statements:

Trade and Economy

Tariffs

According to officials about to take office, Trump will ask federal agencies to study tariff policies and trade relations between the USA, China, Canada, and Mexico.

"I will immediately begin a comprehensive reform of our trade system to protect USA workers and families," he said.

Foreign Tax Bureau.

Trump stated that he will establish an external tax department to collect tariffs, adding that "a large amount of funds will flow into our Treasury from foreign sources."

"Rather than taxing our citizens to benefit other countries, we will impose tariffs and taxes on foreigners to benefit our citizens," he said.

Inflation emergency.

Trump stated that he is instructing cabinet members to "utilize the powerful authority they possess to overcome record inflation and quickly reduce costs and prices."

The White House also stated in a press release, "All institutions will take emergency measures to reduce the cost of living."

Immigration.

Trump plans to sign 10 executive orders related to the border, which signify significant changes in immigration policy and will impose new restrictions on both legal and illegal immigration.

Border emergency declaration.

Trump signed an executive order regarding the emergency status of the southern border states.

On Monday, Trump stated that he would declare a national emergency at the southern border. The White House announced that he would deploy armed forces, including the National Guard, to "participate in border security."

"I will send troops to the southern border to repel the catastrophic invasion against our nation," Trump said.

Trump will also order the completion of the border wall construction between the USA and Mexico, an effort he began during his first term.

Deportation.

During his speech, Trump stated that the government "will begin the process of deporting millions of criminal immigrants back to their countries of origin."

He is expected to empower officials from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection agencies to carry out deportation actions.

Birthright Citizenship.

Trump will seek to end the automatic birthright citizenship for the children of illegal entrants. Trump signed an executive order regarding birthright citizenship.

Asylum, Refugees.

Trump plans to suspend refugee resettlement for six months and will end the "catch and release" policy, which allows immigrants to be released while awaiting their asylum status hearings.

Trump is also set to issue a notice to end the asylum process. Officials say this will allow for the immediate deportation of those already domestic and awaiting court hearings.

The government will also seek to restore the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which requires asylum seekers to remain in Mexico before their hearings in US immigration courts.

Trump signed border orders and refugee reception decrees.

Death penalty.

The White House stated that the Department of Justice will seek the death penalty for "illegal immigrants who harm and murder Americans."

Cartel.

Trump will also designate MS-13 and the Tren de Aragua gang, as well as Mexican drug trafficking organizations responsible for cross-border drug smuggling, as foreign terrorist organizations. He will use the 1798 Alien Enemy Act to deport their members.

Energy and Climate.

Similar to his actions on immigration, Trump will invoke emergency powers to promote domestic Energy production and overturn Biden-era policies aimed at addressing climate change.

The summary of the White House plan states that Trump "will release US Energy by ending Biden's extreme climate policies and streamlining approval processes" and will review all regulations that impose unnecessary burdens on energy production and use, including the mining and processing of non-fuel minerals, to consider possible revocation.

Offshore drilling, SPR

Trump plans to open up more areas for Oil & Gas exploration, including offshore and Alaska. He stated in a speech: "We will drill, we will drill big time."

Trump also stated that he plans to "fill the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve to the top" and "export US Energy to the world."

Efficiency measures

Trump plans to relax some regulations aimed at improving energy efficiency, including those concerning showerheads, toilets, Washing Machines, light bulbs, and dishwashers.

Wind power plants

The government will stop leasing areas for "large-scale" wind power plants, with the White House stating that these wind power plants "destroy our natural landscape and fail to meet the needs of US Energy Consumers."

Electric Vehicle Authorization

During a speech, Trump stated that he would revoke the electric vehicle mandate—government regulations requiring the sale of electric vehicles—"to save our auto industry and fulfill my sacred commitment to the great American auto workers."

Trump revoked the executive order signed by Biden, which set a goal of electric vehicles accounting for 50% of new car sales by 2030.

Paris Climate Agreement

On January 20, local time, Trump signed a series of executive orders at the First Capital Sports Arena in Washington, D.C., including the USA's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate change. However, this is not expected to take effect immediately: signatories must give formal notice to the United Nations to initiate the withdrawal process and then wait for a year for it to take effect.

Gender and Culture

Only Two Genders

Trump stated that the USA would officially define policy as having only two genders, male and female, which would require institutions to strengthen the definitions and terms in this order when applying laws and regulations. The White House described this move as "biological reality" and stated it would "protect women from radical gender ideology."

The directive will require institutions to use the term "sex" rather than "gender identity," and it mandates the heads of the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, and other agencies to ensure that official documents, including passports and visas, accurately reflect biological sex.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion in the federal government and military.

As promised during the campaign, Trump plans to end the diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives implemented by the Biden administration in the federal government.

"I will also end the government's attempts to impose racial and gender social engineering in every aspect of public and private life," he said.

As for the military, Trump stated that he intends to issue an order to "stop our warriors from being forced to accept radical political theories and social experiments while carrying out their missions."

National Security.

Re-admit vaccine opponents.

As he previously promised, Trump stated that he would reinstate any service members who were discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine and would provide back pay in full.

Panama Canal

In his sharpest comments to date regarding the key trade route returned to Panama last century, Trump announced in his speech: "We want to take it back."

Federal Workforce

Return to Office

The government plans to order federal employees to return to the office and stated that only 6% of government employees "work on site."

Hiring Freeze

The government stated that it will freeze hiring, "unless it is in critical areas, to end the situation where unnecessary and overpaid diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activists are embedded in the federal workforce."

Pardon

Trump stated that he would grant pardons to 1,500 people related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
