Upon assuming office, President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders, canceling 78 executive orders issued during Joe Biden’s administration. This information was reported by the British news outlet BBC.
The United States has withdrawn from the Paris Climate Agreement. Trump also signed an order related to changes in several federal government policies and inflation control. He took this step in front of supporters at the Capitol Arena in Washington, D.C., following the inauguration ceremony.
Later, back in the Oval Office, Trump signed several more executive orders, including one declaring a 'state of emergency' at the U.S. southern border. He also issued an order concerning birthright citizenship. Additionally, he granted general amnesty to 1,500 people accused of involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill attack.
Earlier, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States at the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath. Attending the ceremony were outgoing President Joe Biden, his wife Jill Biden, and other dignitaries. The 78-year-old Trump took the oath with his hand on the Bible in the presence of everyone.
This marks Trump's second term as President of the United States. Previously, in 2017, he was sworn in with much fanfare at the National Mall near the Capitol building. However, this time, severe cold weather posed a challenge, prompting the ceremony to be held inside the Capitol building. The last time a President took the oath indoors was 40 years ago, in 1985, when President Ronald Reagan did so under similar circumstances.
