On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed several executive orders reversing existing policies, many of which were established during President Joe Biden's administration. Notable actions include:
1. Withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement
President Trump signed Executive Order 14136, titled "Putting America First In International Environmental Agreements," directing the immediate withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. This marks the second time the U.S. has exited the accord under Trump's leadership, reversing President Biden's re-entry in 2021.
2. Termination of Federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Programs
An executive order was issued to end federal DEI programs, instructing the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to identify and dismantle such initiatives across federal agencies. This action reverses policies implemented during the Biden administration aimed at promoting diversity and inclusion within the federal workforce.
3. Redefinition of Gender Policies
President Trump signed an executive order titled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government," defining gender strictly as male or female based on birth assignment. This order impacts federal policies, including passport gender markers and housing assignments for transgender inmates, effectively reversing protections expanded under President Biden.
4. Immigration and Border Security Measures
The administration declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, reinstated the "Remain in Mexico" policy, and announced plans to end birthright citizenship for children of non-citizens. These actions reverse immigration policies from the Biden era, aiming to strengthen border security and reduce illegal immigration.
5. Energy Policy Shifts
President Trump declared a "national energy emergency," promoting increased oil and gas production and rescinding policies encouraging electric vehicle adoption. This move overturns President Biden's initiatives focused on clean energy and reducing carbon emissions.
6. Federal Workforce and Regulatory Changes
An executive order was signed to implement "Schedule F," reducing job protections for certain federal employees, and a freeze on new federal regulations was enacted. These actions reverse efforts by the Biden administration to strengthen federal workforce protections and regulatory oversight.
These executive orders signify a substantial shift in federal policies, directly countering several key initiatives from President Biden's tenure.
