Donald Trump, following his recent election as the 47th president of the United States, has promised an ambitious plan of executive actions that he intends to implement on his first day back in the White House. During a pre-inauguration rally, Trump stated that his administration will begin with an “avalanche” of executive orders aimed at reversing policies from the previous administration and setting new priorities for the country.
Among the most prominent actions is the declaration of a national emergency at the U.S. southern border to combat irregular immigration and drug trafficking. He also plans to implement the largest deportation program in U.S. history, with the goal of removing millions of migrants residing in the country without legal authorization. Additionally, Trump has reiterated his intention to close the southern border on his first day in office.
Promised Executive Actions
Number of Orders: Trump has indicated that he expects to sign between 50 and 100 executive orders in his first hours in office, with a particular focus on several key issues.
Immigration:
- Mass Deportations: One of his most prominent promises is the launch of the “largest deportation program in U.S. history,” which is expected to begin immediately.
- End to Birthright Citizenship: Trump also seeks to eliminate automatic citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants born in the U.S., though he acknowledges the legal complications this entails.
Energy and Economic Policies:
- Oil Drilling: Trump is expected to enact measures to increase oil production, including activities in the Arctic.
- Reduction of Regulations: His agenda will include significant cuts to federal regulations, particularly in areas such as public education and civil rights.
Other Initiatives:
- Foreign Policy: Trump has mentioned plans to adopt a more aggressive stance in foreign policy, including controversial proposals such as the acquisition of Greenland and the Panama Canal.
- Declassification of Documents: He has also promised to make public documents related to the assassinations of historical figures like John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
Political Context
Donald Trump’s return to the presidency comes amid a tense political climate, marked by his history of controversies and a Republican-controlled Congress. This could facilitate the rapid implementation of his policies without the need for legislative consensus, raising concerns about a potential dismantling of democratic norms and a shift toward authoritarianism.
Trump has pledged to act “with historic speed and force,” seeking to leave his mark on U.S. policy from his first day in office.
