After the oath came the signatures. US President Donald Trump signed hundreds of executive orders and recommendations to change the United States and the world. First, he announced America's withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, as well as from the World Health Organization.
"We paid $500 million to the World Health Organization when I was here, and I cut it off. China with 1.4 billion people, we have 350... nobody knows how many we are because we have so many people who came illegally. But let's say we have 325 million, while China only pays 39 million," the new president said.
Trump undone over 70 decisions by former President Joe Biden while formalizing the pardon of about 1,500 people who were involved in the January 6 riots 4 years ago on Capitol Hill.
"This is about January 6th. They are hostages. About 1,500 people will be pardoned now. It's about a full pardon. I hope they get out of prison tonight," he said.
He ordered TikTok to remain shut down for at least another 75 days, while confirming the declaration of a national emergency on the southern border with Mexico. In addition to ordering the start of mass deportations of illegal immigrants who have committed crimes, Trump also initiated the procedure to end the acquisition of American citizenship by birth in the United States by immigrants.
The White House chief of staff from the Oval Office demanded that NATO countries spend 5% of their gross domestic product on defense. He signaled a restoration of relations with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Trump also confirmed that he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but did not set a date or location.
"Zelensky wants to make a deal. I don't know if Putin wants to, maybe he doesn't. But he has to make a deal. I think he's destroying Russia by not making a deal. I think Russia is going to be in very big trouble," Trump said.
Among other things, he warned that sanctions against Russia could turn into trade tariffs. (A2 Televizion)
