Trump’s New Executive Orders

During his inauguration parade held indoors at the Capital One Arena due to chilly weather, President Trump signed several executive orders in a ceremony that concluded the event. The orders predominantly targeted the federal workforce and reversed several of former President Biden’s policies. Among the actions taken, Trump implemented a regulatory freeze aimed at halting new regulations until his administration could establish “full control” of the federal apparatus.

In a lively scene, Trump interacted with the crowd, tossing pens to supporters after signing the documents. He also signed an order that imposed a hiring freeze on the federal government, excluding military personnel, to ensure the hiring of only those deemed competent and loyal to the American public. This move was framed as a step toward reducing what he described as bureaucratic inefficiency.

Additionally, Trump directed all federal employees to return to office work, reversing the remote work policies that had been in place since the COVID-19 pandemic began. He also reiterated his stance against the Paris Agreement, officially withdrawing the U.S. from the climate accord and signaling a broader disengagement from international treaties by sending a notification of withdrawal to the United Nations.

Trump’s other orders included measures to address economic issues, enhance free speech protections, and stop what he claimed was the misuse of government power against his political opponents. The specifics of these orders were not immediately detailed.

The event captured Trump’s characteristic flair for dramatic gestures, including throwing signed pens into the crowd as attendees cheered “USA.” Trump hinted at further executive actions to be signed later at the White House, including potential pardons for individuals charged in connection with the January 6th Capitol riot.
