Trump Executive Order Tracker

The Order requires all executive departments and agencies to deliver emergency price relief, consistent with applicable law, to the American people and increase the prosperity of the American worker. This will include actions related to: lowering the cost of housing and expanding housing supply; eliminating unnecessary administrative expenses and rent-seeking practices that increase healthcare costs; and creating employment opportunities.  

The Order rescinds Executive Orders from the Biden Administration that are contrary to the values President Trump has supported in his campaign. The revocations focus on the Covid-19 pandemic, use of diversity, equity, & inclusion, climate and immigration policies.  

The United States Ambassador to the United Nations shall immediately withdraw from the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Secretaries of State and Commerce and heads of other agencies shall prioritize economic efficiency in any international energy agreements.

This executive order establishes that it is the policy of the United States to encourage energy production and exploration on Federal lands and waters and to eliminate the electric vehicle (EV) mandate. It requires the heads of departments to review all regulations that burden domestic energy production and use, and to implement action plans to rescind or revise such regulations. The order rescinds a number of Biden’s Executive Orders on energy and the environment and implements actions to terminate the Green New Deal. It directs agency heads to eliminate delays with respect to permitting and expedite projects deemed essential to the Nation’s economy or security. It also directs DOE to restart review of LNG export applications and to identify all agency actions that impose undue burdens on the domestic mining.

This executive order 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. Orders the Administrator of the EPA and Secretary of Energy to consider issuing emergency fuel waivers to allow the year-round sale of E15 gasoline to meet any projected temporary shortfalls in the supply of gasoline. Agencies will identify actions that may require emergency permitting under the Clean Water Act. Orders prompt agency consultations exemptions from Endangered Species Act (ESA) requirements.

The memorandum directs a full review of wind leasing and permitting practices, and, effective January 21, 2025, pauses all “consideration of any area in the OCS for any new or renewed wind energy leasing” as well as “approvals, rights of way, permits, leases, or loans for onshore or offshore wind projects pending” review. The memorandum stops just short of revoking existing leases, instead directing “the Secretary of the Interior… [to] conduct a comprehensive review of the ecological, economic, and environmental necessity of terminating or amending any existing wind energy leases, identifying any legal bases for such removal, and submit… recommendations to the President.”

This executive order establishes a policy to fully utilize Alaska's abundant natural resources. It directs federal agencies to rescind or revise restrictions, policies, and environmental reviews implemented since January 2021 that limit resource development on federal and state lands in Alaska, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (“ANWR”). It further tasks agencies with expediting the permitting, leasing, and infrastructure projects critical for developing Alaska's resources, particularly its liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) industry and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System.
