President Donald Trump signed a record number of executive orders during his first week back at the White House.
In his first week as President, Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders and actions aimed at fulfilling campaign promises and setting the tone for his administration. Key actions included withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), advancing the construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, and initiating the process to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump also issued a memorandum to reduce regulations, an order to freeze federal hiring, and actions to limit aspects of the Affordable Care Act, such as the global gag rule on abortion. Additionally, he signed orders to expedite environmental reviews for infrastructure projects and to potentially punish sanctuary cities by withholding federal funds. These moves were part of a broader strategy to dismantle regulations, enhance national security, and prioritize American interests, reflecting his campaign pledges to "drain the swamp" and put America first.
