On his first full day as president, Donald Trump issued pardons to 1,500 people involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. These pardons were part of a broader array of executive actions aimed at reshaping U.S. policies.

The decision sparked backlash from lawmakers who were directly threatened during the Capitol insurrection, where Trump supporters attempted to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.

Trump's inauguration also included measures to restrict immigration, roll back environmental regulations, and delay the enforcement of a ban on the TikTok app.

His actions have elicited mixed reactions, particularly concerning their impact on U.S. trade policies.

Stock markets fluctuated as investors responded to Trump's economic policies, including a possible tariff increase on Canada and Mexico.

At 78, Trump became the oldest president to assume office, meeting with both relief and concern globally as his administration charts a different course from previous policies.

Additionally, Trump revived his stance on illegal immigration, pausing the CBP One entry program, which allowed migrants to schedule appointments for legal entry.

This decision has already faced legal challenges.

In environmental policy, Trump reaffirmed the U.S.'s withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement and removed restrictions on offshore oil and gas drilling.

Other actions include a federal hiring freeze, changes to diversity programs, and plans to rename the Panama Canal and the Gulf of Mexico.

While Trump’s administration confronts internal and external challenges, the rapid pace of changes indicates a dramatic shift in U.S. governance.
