Donald Trump, in his style, launched radical reforms from his first day as president. Trump has already ordered the withdrawal of the United States from a number of international organizations and is planning to review the rules for granting American citizenship..
TikTok Trump suspended for 75 days the ban on the use of the TikTok platform in the United States. After that deadline, he plans to give his administration "
International organizations Trump signed an order requiring the United States to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO). Trump began the process of withdrawing the United States from the WHO at the end of his first term, which lasted from 2017 to 2021. The next president, Joe Biden, reversed this decision during his first days in the White House.. .
Trump has previously criticized the organization for its response to the coronavirus pandemic.. In particular, he argued that the WHO was too "
The executive order, which Trump signed on Monday, said the United States was leaving the WHO "
Under the Biden administration, the US remained the WHO's largest donor. The country accounted for almost a fifth of its budget of about $6.8 billion in 2023.
Trump also withdraws the United States from the Paris climate agreement. The move reflects the new US president's skepticism about global warming and also fits into his agenda to free oil and gas companies from regulation so they can maximize production.. This is the second time Trump has withdrawn the United States from the agreement, the first time this happened during his first term as president; Joe Biden subsequently reversed this decision. The agreement commits about 200 countries around the world to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, and subsequently below 1.5 degrees.
Pardons Trump pardoned almost all those accused of participating in the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, when he personally insisted on not recognizing Joe Biden's victory in the election and incited his supporters to attack the US Congress building. The new act, signed by Trump on January 20, effectively eliminates legal consequences for all but 14 of the nearly 1,590 people charged in connection with the assault.. The exception is members of the far-right organizations Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, whose prison terms ended early. However, among those pardoned is Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the far-right neo-fascist Proud Boys, who was sentenced to 22 years in prison, the longest of any case stemming from the January 6 riots.. Others pardoned include people convicted of using pipes, sticks and chemical spray to attack police officers who were then guarding the Capitol..
US citizenship by birthright Trump ordered to limit the right to automatic US citizenship for anyone born in the country. However, experts note that the principle of citizenship by birth is enshrined in the American Constitution and cannot be abolished by presidential decree.
The decree applies to children born after 30 days from the date of signing the document in cases where their parents are illegally present in the United States. Such children will no longer automatically receive American citizenship. Also, the new rule will apply in situations where the mother is temporarily in the United States (for example, with a visa), and the father is not a US citizen. The document also prohibits granting birthright citizenship to children born to people who have temporary work in the United States, student and tourist visas.
Immediately following Trump's executive order, one of the country's oldest civil rights organizations, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and other groups filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration..
The case will be tried in the federal District Court of New Hampshire..
Later, a coalition of 18 states where Democrats are in power, as well as the cities of San Francisco and the District of Columbia (that is, Washington), filed its own similar lawsuit in the federal District Court in Boston (Massachusetts)..
