Washington DC [US]: On the eve of his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump addressed supporters at a candlelight dinner at the National Building Museum, outlining his administration’s plans to immediately reverse many policies enacted by the Biden administration.
Trump announced that within hours of taking office on Monday, he would sign nearly 100 executive orders, with a priority to declare numerous Biden-era actions “null and void.”
Key Statements and Commitments
Revoking Executive Orders:
“With the stroke of my pen, I will revoke dozens of destructive and radical executive orders and actions of the Biden administration. And by this time tomorrow, they will all be null and void,” Trump said, as quoted by a video shared by Trump War Room on X, citing Fox News.
Swift Policy Actions:
The president-elect emphasized his administration’s urgency to address pressing challenges, including:
- Immigration: Ending what he described as an “invasion of our borders” and restoring national sovereignty.
- Inflation: Implementing policies to “quickly defeat the inflation crisis.”
- Border Security: Halting the entry of criminals into the US.
Promises Made, Promises Kept:
Trump reiterated the motto from his first term, vowing to deliver on commitments made to the American people. “The Trump administration will again live by the motto ‘promises made, promises kept.’ We had a very, very successful last administration. And this one, I think, is going to be even more successful,” he added.
Restoration and Renewal:
Trump declared that the new administration would bring an end to what he termed the “failure, disaster, and decline” of the past four years under the Biden administration. He described his second term as the start of the “four greatest years in the history of our country.”
Addressing National Challenges:
- Trump labeled the Biden years as a period of crisis and pledged to “inherit and swiftly address” the problems facing the country both domestically and internationally.
- He criticized the last four years as “nasty” and highlighted the urgency to implement transformative changes.
Looking Ahead
Trump will take the oath of office on Monday at the US Capitol, marking his return to the presidency after serving as the 45th President from 2017 to 2021. His inaugural address is expected to provide further details on the policies he plans to prioritize in his second term.
