US President-elect Donald Trump is set to take office on January 20, with plans to issue a historic number of executive orders on his first day. In a recent interview with NBC News, Trump indicated that he might issue around 100 executive orders immediately after his inaugural address, aiming to overturn various policies established by the outgoing Biden administration (source: Times of India).
Among his top priorities is the implementation of a mass deportation initiative, which Trump stated would "begin very, very quickly." Although he did not specify locations, he assured that developments would be revealed soon. His plan for immigration reform reflects his ongoing commitment to strict border control measures, including potentially reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy and proposing a hotline for reporting undocumented migrants (source: Times of India). Trump's administration is expected to face logistical challenges and legal opposition from various groups regarding these initiatives.
In terms of economic policy, Trump plans to execute significant tariffs on imported goods, including a 10% tariff on all imports, escalating to 60% on goods from China. He aims to prioritize American manufacturing while introducing executive orders on his first day (source: Times of India). Supporters of cryptocurrency can expect to see proposals for establishing a federal "Bitcoin stockpile," an effort to fortify Bitcoin as a stable asset in the national economy.
Trump's administration may also address ongoing controversies surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. His commitment to dissolving these initiatives aligns with his broader conservative agenda, which has gained traction in various sectors. Trump has indicated that he could restrict funding for educational institutions that promote programs he deems contrary to his values (source: Times of India).
Furthermore, discussions surrounding potential pardons for individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot have emerged. Trump referred to these arrestees as "political prisoners," and although he indicated the possibility of issuing pardons "very quickly," he noted that there might be exceptions in specific cases (source: Times of India). This situation has caused some discord among Trump's supporters, particularly after Vice President-elect JD Vance called for more limited pardons.
As the inauguration approaches, Trump prepares to embark on a pivotal second term, with the potential to reshape policy on multiple fronts through a flurry of executive orders aimed at implementing his agenda from day one.
