President Donald Trump signed a number of executive orders to undo many of the initiatives implemented by the Biden administration on the first day of his second term in office.
Trump was given a stack of paperwork at the signing ceremony, which took place during a public event in Washington, DC. He signed each one and presented it to the cheering audience.
Trump signed those directives following a post-inauguration parade that was rescheduled to Washington’s Capital One Arena due to the weather.
The executive orders cover a broad array of issues, including the Rescission of 78 Biden-era Executive Actions, which effectively overturns many of the policies established by the previous administration.
Along with withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, Trump also signed measures to address the ongoing Cost of Living Crisis that has impacted many Americans.
