TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDERS, PULLS U.S. FROM WHO

President Donald Trump, shortly after being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, signed a sweeping order on Monday revoking over 80 executive actions implemented during Joe Biden’s presidency. The announcement was made at Capital One Arena, where Trump outlined his intention to reverse key policies of the previous administration.

Among the notable reversals was Biden’s decision to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Trump reinstated Cuba’s designation, emphasizing the need for stricter measures against regimes supporting terrorism.

Trump also revoked Biden’s sanctions on certain Jewish settlers in the West Bank. These sanctions, implemented in February 2024, targeted individuals accused of inciting violence in the region, a move Trump deemed detrimental to U.S.-Israel relations.

Additionally, the new president reversed Biden’s 2023 executive order aimed at monitoring and regulating the risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI). The original order sought to establish oversight to mitigate potential threats from the rapid advancement of AI technologies.

This mass reversal of Biden-era policies marks Trump’s first major action as president, signaling a sharp shift in U.S. domestic and foreign policies under his leadership.

President Donald Trump further signed an executive order declaring the United States’ intent to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing its alleged mismanagement of global health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

This marks the second time Trump has ordered the US to disengage from the WHO.

He first initiated the withdrawal in 2020, criticizing the organization’s handling of the pandemic, its failure to implement necessary reforms, and its inability to maintain independence from political influences by certain member states.
