US President Donald Trump: Donald Trump has taken oath as the President of America on Monday (January 20). With the swearing in, he became the 47th President of the United States. After taking the oath, Donald Trump reached the Oval Office, where the world got to see his action time. Trump signed several executive orders as soon as he took office. These include the order to withdraw America from the membership of the World Health Organization (WHO).
After witnessing the presidential parade, Trump signed as many as 80 executive orders to reverse actions taken by the Joe Biden administration. “We will sign executive orders first to revoke nearly 80 ‘destructive’ and ‘radical’ executive actions of the previous administration,” he said.
One of the first executive orders that the US President signed was to end work from home for federal employees. The move followed Trump’s pledge to end the work-from-home (WFH) culture that became common during the Covid-19 pandemic. Last month, at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, Trump said he planned to dismiss federal employees who don’t return to office to comply with the order.
Dealing a blow to worldwide efforts to combat global warming, Donald Trump on January 20 signed an order to pull out the United States – a top carbon polluting nation – from the Paris climate agreement. The US President also signed a letter to the United Nations indicating his intention to withdraw from the 2015 agreement. The withdrawal process from the Paris accord takes one year.
The 2015 Paris agreement allows nations to provide targets to cut their own emissions of greenhouse gases from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas.
