Memorandum for the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (Trump EO Tracker)

This Order makes it the policy of the United States to enforce the Hyde Amendment, preventing the use of Federal money to fund or promote elective abortion. The EO further revokes two Executive Orders from the Biden Administration: (1) Executive Order 14076, Protecting Access to Reproductive Healthcare Services and (2) Executive Order 14079, Securing Access to Reproductive and Other Healthcare Services. 

This Memorandum revokes the Presidential Memorandum of January 28, 2021, “Protecting Women’s Health at Home and Abroad,” and reinstates the Presidential Memorandum of January 23, 2017, “The Mexico City Policy.” It directs the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to implement a plan to make certain that foreign organizations receiving global health funding from any departments or agencies of the United States do not provide or promote abortion with any sources of funding. In addition, to the extent permitted by law, the Memorandum directs the Secretary of State to ensure that U.S. taxpayer dollars do not fund organizations or programs that support or participate in the provision of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization. 

This EO invokes authorities under the National Emergencies Act (NEA) to declare an energy emergency. Orders executive departments and agencies to identify and exercise any lawful emergency authorities available to them to facilitate the identification, leasing, siting, production, transportation, refining, and generation of domestic energy resources, including, but not limited to, on federal lands.

The Order rescinds all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices or programs across all executive departments and agencies. It also revokes the following executive actions: Executive Order 12898 of February 11, 1994 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations); Executive Order 13583 of August 18, 2011 (Establishing a Coordinated Government-wide Initiative to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce); Executive Order 13672 of July 21, 2014 (Further Amendments to Executive Order 11478, Equal Employment Opportunity in the Federal Government, and Executive Order 11246, Equal Employment Opportunity); The Presidential Memorandum of October 5, 2016 (Promoting Diversity and Inclusion in the National Security Workforce); and Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965 (Equal Employment Opportunity). Agencies must also work to end DEI initiatives in the private sector in areas of their jurisdiction. 

The Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), assisted by the Attorney General and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), shall coordinate the termination of all discriminatory programs, including DEI and “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the federal government, under whatever name they appear (including in relation to “environmental justice”).

Within 90 days of the Order, the Secretary of the Interior will submit a plan to the President to assist the Lumbee Tribe in obtaining full Federal recognition through legislation or other methods. The Lumbee tribe was recognized by the State of North Carolina in 1885, and it is now the policy of the United States to support their receiving full Federal recognition.

This memorandum grants immediate temporary security clearance for up to six months for a list of incoming White House Staff to be determined by the White House Counsel. It also grants White House Counsel the authority to revoke such interim clearances at their discretion.

Revokes Executive Order 14007 of January 27, 2021 (President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology) to reestablish the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) for a minimum of two years, to advise on policies related to science, technology, innovation and other emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum.
