Donald Trump has been inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, beginning a new four-year term with Vice President J.D. Vance. The former president immediately enacted a series of executive orders aimed at reversing several policies implemented by his predecessor, Joe Biden.
Among the most significant actions, Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Accord and the World Health Organization, marking a stark shift in America’s global commitments. He also signed an order delaying the TikTok ban introduced under Biden by 75 days and declared a national energy emergency to address rising energy costs.
In a controversial move, Trump announced the government would officially recognize only two sexes—male and female—and halted federal funding or recognition of gender identities.
The executive orders signal a return to Trump’s trademark policy priorities, reigniting debates on climate change, global health, and social issues. These early actions set the stage for a turbulent term as the administration faces domestic and international reactions to the sweeping changes.
