Trump's first day in office: What executive orders has he signed?
Transcript
00:00From pardoning January 6th rioters to talking about buying Greenland,
00:04what has Trump done on his first day in office?
00:07In one of the first orders of the day,
00:09President Trump has decided to withdraw the U.S.
00:12from the World Health Organization.
00:14He says the Global Health Agency had mishandled the COVID pandemic
00:18and other international health crises.
00:20So we paid $500 million to World Health when I was here,
00:24and I terminated it.
00:26China with 1.4 billion people.
00:30They were paying $39 million.
00:31We were paying $500 million.
00:34It seemed a little unfair to me.
00:36So that wasn't the reason, but I dropped out.
00:38Next, Trump issued criminal pardons for around 1,500 people
00:42who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
00:46This includes members of far-right groups,
00:48including the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers.
00:51So this is January 6th.
00:54These are the hostages.
00:56Approximately 1,500 for a pardon.
00:59Yes.
01:00Full pardon.
01:01Trump has once again withdrawn America from the Paris climate deal,
01:05meaning the U.S. will essentially no longer help
01:07in the global battle against climate change.
01:10While signing his other executive orders,
01:12the new president said the U.S. needs to control Greenland
01:15to ensure international security.
01:17Greenland's prime minister, however,
01:19has repeatedly said the island is not for sale.
01:22Another of the president's first moves
01:24was to declare a national emergency on the U.S. border with Mexico.
01:28So this is a proclamation declaring a national emergency
01:31at the southern border of the United States?
01:34That's a big one.
01:35A lot of big ones, huh?
01:36Trump also signed an order to delay the ban on TikTok for 75 days
01:40after it was temporarily shut on January 19th.
01:43I guess I have a warm spot for TikTok that I didn't have originally.
01:46It's not entirely clear what will happen once those 75 days are up.
01:50Trump vowed these decisions will help bring a golden age
01:54and revolution of common sense for America.
