Yesterday was a flurry. As much as I want to type out all of my thoughts, I thought what would be most helpful is a master list of the EOs that Trump signed on Day One - that seems to be top of mind for almost everyone I hear from.
I hope this complete list is helpful!
Withdrawing from the Paris Agreement
Immediate withdrawal: Trump instructed the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations to formally notify the UN of the country's withdrawal
National energy emergency: The White House declared a "national energy emergency" to reverse U.S. climate regulations and boost oil and gas production
Fossil fuel promotion: The order includes directives to loosen restrictions on offshore drilling and reassess protections for Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
Reversal of Biden-era policies: Trump rescinded several of Biden's executive actions on climate policy
Economic justification: Trump argued that the Paris Agreement places disproportionate demands on the U.S. economy and would undermine American industries
Timeframe: While the order states the withdrawal will take effect "immediately," the Paris Agreement requires a full year to finalize the exit process
