Washington DC - On the first day of his new term, President Donald Trump unlashed a flood of executive orders, ranging from climate to immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and foreign relations.

As promised, Trump signed dozens upon dozens of orders, attacking the rights of immigrants and trans people, while undoing whatever progress Joe Biden's administration had made on climate protections.

Some of Trump's moves, like the withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), were surprising.

Others, such as the immediate re-designation of Cuba as a "state sponsor of terrorism," were extremely predictable.

Some of those pardoned are neo-Nazis and white supremacists, such as Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion -Trump repealed various executive orders promoting diversity and LGBTQ+ equality, in line with his promised attack on programs meant to address racial discrimination.

Trump said that moving forward, the US government will only recognize "two genders, male and female" – a targeted move against trans people.

The president immediately withdrew the US from the Paris climate accords, repeating an action he took during his first term, while also revoking the Biden administration's goal of ensuring that EVs will make up half of all vehicles sold by 2030.
