President-elect Donald Trump plans to sign nearly 100 executive orders immediately upon taking office, aiming to overturn key policies introduced by the Biden administration. His focus will be on immigration, energy, and federal government operations, according to senior aides.
During a call with senior Conservative lawmakers, Trump’s team outlined major immigration measures, including declaring a national emergency at the border, unlocking Defence Department funds, and reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy. His administration also plans to classify drug cartels as foreign terrorist organisations.
In government operations, Trump is set to reinstate Schedule F, a measure that removes job protections for certain civil servants, and roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion policies introduced under Biden. He will also establish the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
On energy, Trump is expected to declare a national emergency, allowing for the expansion of domestic energy production and changes to permitting rules and land use policies.
Speaking at a pre-inauguration event, Trump said these actions would immediately revoke dozens of Biden-era policies. However, legal challenges are expected to follow.
