Days into his presidency, President Trump has issued a series of executive orders reshaping American foreign policy, immigration, and more. Executive orders are statements from the president about how the federal government should be managed. The Trump administration has already outlined a withdrawal from the U.N. World Health Organization (WHO) and Paris Climate Accords, redefining birthright citizenship, and removal of federal DEI programs are among President Trump’s most sweeping executive orders. Multiple executive orders have drawn legal challenges from state attorney generals and legal rights organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
