President Donald Trump’s White House issued an outline of “America First Priorities” as the administration’s first official statement issued while the new president laid out his plans in his inauguration address.
The statement highlights key policy areas that the administration intends to focus on, including border security, energy independence, government reform, and cultural initiatives in a list that aligns with reports by Fox News Digital detailing Trump’s day one executive order barrage – consisting of more than 200 directives.
Among the notable proposals are reinstating border security measures such as “Remain in Mexico,” deploying the National Guard to assist law enforcement, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord, and implementing an “America-First” trade policy.
