Trump Issues Executive Orders to Reverse Biden Policies

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at reversing multiple Biden-era policies, including the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and the revocation of orders related to environmental justice and oil drilling. He declared a national energy emergency, halting all new offshore and onshore wind energy leasing while promoting fossil fuel production, particularly in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Trump also rescinded Biden's executive orders that had sought to include all U.S. residents in census counts, which had implications for Electoral College representation and redistricting processes. Additionally, he mandated that federal employees return to in-person work, effectively ending remote work arrangements initiated during the pandemic. His administration plans to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within the federal government, framing this as a move towards restoring equal treatment. These actions are part of a broader strategy to fulfill Trump's campaign promises and reshape federal policies significantly.
