Trump plans to radically change US policy on the first day in office - Media.


The elected president of the USA, Trump, plans to sign over 25 executive orders and directives on his first day in office, which will significantly change the American government's policy in various areas - from immigration to energy. This was reported by Reuters, citing sources familiar with the transition team's plans.
According to sources, Trump told his team that he plans to make a 'big splash' with the orders on the very first day, to exercise his executive power with more breadth and speed than in his first term.
Trump issued only a few orders after his inauguration in 2017, while Joe Biden signed 17 directives in the first hours of his presidency in 2021, many of which reversed the predecessor's policies.
The first wave of Trump's presidential orders in January is expected to focus on changing border policy and preventing new spikes in migration across the southern US border. This could include expanding the immigration agency's powers for arrests, deploying troops to the border with Mexico, and resuming the construction of the protective wall.
Furthermore, Trump's new policy is expected to involve increasing the extraction of energy resources. He also expressed his intention to revoke US citizenship by birthright. It is anticipated that he will first sign orders to cut funding for schools that teach critical race theory, which asserts that racial biases exist in US institutions.
According to sources with inside knowledge of the transition team, the preparation of drafts for Trump's first orders appears to be 'hazy'. Some of them are being developed at his mansion in Palm Beach, while others are being created in think tanks in Washington.
