Donald TrumpRomney: “Pretty sure,” Trump would win the 2024 GOP nomination if he ran for president, Pence will meet with senior members of the Republican Studies Committee. Trump says “definitely” Tiger Woods will be back after a MORE accident, lifting certain visa bans, undoing an order to set new standards for federal architecture and revoking a note calling for possible funding cuts to cities that suffered major protests last summer.
The White House issued an executive order annulling several Trump actions in one fell swoop. Among the goals were orders on architectural revisions and financing of “lawless zones,” as well as measures that restricted the labor rights of Pentagon civilian workers and repealed regulations during the pandemic.
Trump signed a five-page note in September ordering federal agency heads to submit a report to the Office of Management and Budget detailing all federal funds provided in Seattle, Portland, New York and Washington, DC , with the possibility of stripping these jurisdictions of federal money.
The move came after each of these cities experienced major protests over the summer against racial injustice, and protests in Portland sometimes became violent. Trump used these demonstrations as a cry for support to support law enforcement, which had been criticized after a blackout rash at the hands of police.
Trump also signed an order last December entitled “Promoting a Beautiful Federal Civic Architecture” stating that federal buildings “should elevate and beautify public spaces, inspire the human spirit, ennoble the United States, and gain respect.” of the general public “.
Biden separately reversed a Trump proclamation that was extended twice that suspended the issuance of H-1B visas, H-2B visas, H-4 visas, L-1 visas, and certain J-1 visas. The former president had extended these restrictions until the end of March before leaving office.
The Trump administration argued that visa bans were necessary in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic to ensure the protection of American workers as the economy bounced back slowly. But in revoking the measure, Biden argued that it harmed the country, in part by “preventing certain family members of U.S. citizens and permanent legal residents from joining their families here.
“It also hurts U.S. industries that use talent from around the world,” Biden said in the revocation.
Many of Biden’s actions during the first month of his presidency have focused on undoing the actions of his predecessor. It reversed Trump’s decisions to abandon the Paris and World Health Organization climate agreements, terminated a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, and issued an order to strengthen the Deferred Actions for Arrivals program.
