Trump Executive Order Tracker

It shall be the policy of the executive branch to ensure Presidential supervision and control of the entire executive branch. Additionally, all executive departments and agencies, including independent agencies, are required to submit for review all proposed and final significant regulatory actions to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Executive Office of the President before publication in the Federal Register. 

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 domestic mining.

Directs the heads of executive departments and agencies to review all funding provided to NGOs and align future funding decisions with the interests of the United States and the goals of the Trump-Vance administration. 

Orders that for each new regulation issued, at least 10 prior regulations be identified for elimination.  This practice is to ensure that the cost of planned regulations is responsibly managed and controlled through a rigorous regulatory budgeting process.

Order an immediate return to merit-based recruitment, hiring, and promotion, elevating safety and ability as the paramount standard.  Also ordering the Secretary of Transportation and the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to review all hiring decisions and changes to safety protocols made during the prior 4 years, and to take such corrective action as necessary to achieve uncompromised aviation safety, including the replacement of any individuals who do not meet qualification standards.

Terminates the use of diversity and inclusion practices in the Federal Aviation Administration’s hiring and recruitment processes. The Administration has issued a more comprehensive EO eliminating DEI programs, policies and initiatives across the federal government (and encouraging the same across the private sector). 

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.
