He will declare a national emergency at the southern border, recognize only male or female gender, and call the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America,” among other measures.
Donald Trump took office as the 47th President of the United States this Monday, during an inauguration ceremony held in the Capitol due to the cold. Once sworn in, the new president has announced that he will sign 100 decrees on his first day, including renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America,” declaring a national emergency at the southern border to send troops or to “recapture” the Panama Canal.
The first measure he will declare will be a national emergency at the southern border, in such a way that US authorities will stop any “illegal entry” and deport “millions of criminal aliens.” “We are going to implement the ‘remain in Mexico’ policy,” he emphasized.
He will also impose a new national energy emergency to expand oil exploration licenses and take advantage of “the largest quantities of oil and gas of any country in the world,” which he has described as “liquid gold.”
Future executive orders include designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, while restoring the Foreign Enemies Act of 1798 to prosecute criminal gangs and networks fueling urban insecurity.
He has also alluded again to the Panama Canal, emphasizing that his goal is to “restore” it. He believes that the Panamanian authorities have broken their promises and given China de facto control over this strategic infrastructure.
In another controversial move he has announced, he will make it his new government’s “official policy” to recognize only two gender identities: “male and female.”
He has also announced that he will once again withdraw his country from the Paris Climate Agreement, which he already left during his first term (2016-2021) and which Joe Biden rejoined with the US in 2021.
On the other hand, the new president wants to fight inflation and improve living standards, for which he has reiterated his commitment to imposing tariffs on imports and a new industrial and energy strategy at home.
Trump aims to be a “peacemaker” president and has emphasized that a day before he was sworn in on Monday, Hamas agreed to extradite a first group of hostages under the ceasefire signed with Israel.
