Aiming to make a "big splash," Trump's plans for his first day in office have been revealed.

President-elect Donald Trump plans to issue over 25 executive orders and directives on his first day in office, January 20. These will specifically address immigration and energy issues. This information comes from Reuters, as reported by UNN.

Details

According to sources from the agency, Trump has informed his team that he wants to create a "big splash" with his first-day orders, aiming to exercise his executive power on a larger scale and with greater speed than during his first term. The number of planned orders had not been disclosed previously.

Reuters notes that executive orders allow U.S. presidents to swiftly implement their policy goals without the lengthy legislative process through Congress. However, such decisions can be challenged in court, and any funding for their implementation requires Congressional approval.

Sources indicate that within Trump's team, there is an understanding that "every action requires significant coordination among the involved government agencies, which could potentially slow down the process and reduce the overall number of orders issued on the first day." More orders and directives are expected to be issued in the following days and weeks, with long-time Trump aide Stephen Miller overseeing this coordination.

It is anticipated that the orders Trump plans to issue on his first day will primarily focus on reversing Biden's border policies. Specifically, immigration officers will be granted more leeway to detain individuals without criminal backgrounds, additional military personnel will be deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border, and the construction of the border wall will be resumed.

Other orders will also include initiatives to boost energy production and fulfill Trump's campaign promise to "drill and frack."

Reminder

Donald Trump plans to fire all transgender service members from the U.S. military upon his return to the White House. It is estimated that this could affect around 15,000 active-duty personnel.
