This plan will be submitted to the president through the assistant to the president and homeland security advisor. |
Protecting Second Amendment Rights | 2/7/2025 | This executive order protects the Second Amendment right of all Americans. The White House aims to maintain the rights for all American people to protect themselves, their families and their freedoms.

Additionally, the attorney general will present a proposed plan of action to the president through the domestic policy advisor. | |
Establishment of The White House Faith Office | 2/7/2025 | Government Administration | This executive order creates the White House Faith Office. It amends any past executive order renaming the “Center for Faith-based and Community Initiatives” to “Center for Faith,” along with “Centers for Faith” to “Centers for Faith-based and Community Initiatives.” The White House Faith Office will consult with experts and businesses and make policy recommendations to the president, through the assistant to the president for domestic policy, and work with agencies to ensure religious liberty and implementation of trainings, identifying grant opportunities for nonprofit faith-based entities and support. In addition, the office will work with the attorney general to identify concerns and enforce protection for religious liberty while identifying and proposing practices to reduce burdens on the free exercise of religion, including legislative, regulatory and any other barriers. |
Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court | 2/6/2025 | Foreign Policy | This executive order imposes sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its personnel responsible for investigating and prosecuting alleged war crimes committed by the U.S. and Israel. The order asserts that the ICC acted outside of its jurisdiction by issuing arrest warrants for U.S. military personnel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant due to the U.S. and Israel not being parties to the Rome Statute. Any ICC officials, employees and agents involved in efforts to investigate, arrest, detain or prosecute protected persons are now subject to property and asset blockages and suspension of U.S. entry, along with their immediate family members. The secretaries of the treasury and state will bear responsibility for implementing the order. |
Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias | 2/6/2025 | This executive order establishes a federal policy aimed at protecting religious freedom, specifically focusing on addressing and eliminating what it describes as anti-Christian bias in government actions and policies. It asserts that the previous administration engaged in practices that unfairly targeted Christian individuals and organizations, citing criminal prosecutions of pro-life demonstrators, perceived under-enforcement of laws protecting religious institutions from violence, and administrative actions viewed as hostile to religious liberty. To address these concerns, the order creates the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, housed in the U.S. Department of Justice and chaired by the U.S. Attorney General. The task force includes senior officials from major federal departments and agencies. Its responsibilities include reviewing agency actions, recommending policy reversals, advising new protections for religious liberty and engaging with faith-based stakeholders. The task force is required to produce periodic reports on its findings and recommendations, with an initial report due within 120 days, a follow-up within one year and a final report upon its termination. The order stipulates that the task force will dissolve after two years unless otherwise extended. | |
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2/5/2025 | Government Administration | This executive order states that it shall be the policy of the U.S. to ban transgender females in women’s sports. The order applies the definition used in Executive Order 14168. All executive departments and agencies are to review grants to educational programs and potentially rescind funding if they fail to comply with the policies of this order. The secretary of education will use Title IX enforcement actions against education institutions, including athletic associations composed or governed by such institutions, that allow transgender women to compete in women’s categories or to appear unclothed before them. The order aims to promote policy changes of transgender women allowed to compete if they reduce levels of their testosterone to provide documentation of “sincerely held” gender identity. To accomplish change in policy, the assistant to the president for domestic policy will create meetings with female athletes harmed by these policies and major athletic organizations by April 6, 2025. The assistant to the president for domestic policy will also work with state attorneys general on how to define and enforce equal opportunities for women in sports and educate about stories of those harmed by April 6, 2025. The secretary of state and representative of the U.S. to the United Nations (UN) will not support or participate in sports where the female category is based on identity and not sex, and they will promote rule changes at the UN and international athletic associations. The secretaries of state and homeland security will review policies and adjust if needed of permitting transgender women who want to participate in women’s sports into the U.S. and will issue guidance preventing these entries. The secretary of state shall also work to amend the standards of the International Olympic Committee to promote fairness, safety and the best interest of female athletes by ensuring that participation is based on sex and not identity or testosterone. |
Withdrawing the United States from and Ending Funding to Certain United Nations Organizations and Reviewing United States Support to All International Organizations | 2/4/2025 | Foreign Policy | This executive order states that the U.S. will not participate in the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and will not seek election to that body. The secretary of state will conduct a review of the U.S.’s membership in the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) within 90 days of the order, specifically including analysis of any anti-Semitism or anti-Israel sentiment within the UNESCO. The U.S. will also not use any funds for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Within 180 days of the order, the secretary of state and the U.N. Ambassador will review all international intergovernmental organizations the U.S. is a part of and provide types of funding or support. The review will assess if these organizations, conventions and treaties are contrary to the interests of the U.S. and whether they can be reformed. The secretary of state will also inform the U.N. secretary general and leadership of the UNRWA and U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights that the U.S. is no longer funding the UNRWA or UNHRC, and the U.S. also will not satisfy any claim to pay 2025 assessments or prior arrears by these organizations. |
A Plan for Establishing a United States Sovereign Wealth Fund | 2/3/2025 | Finance, Government Administration | This executive order directs the federal government to establish a sovereign wealth fund, aiming to promote fiscal sustainability and lessen the burden of taxpayers.

The plan should also include an evaluation of the legal considerations of establishing the fund. |
Progress on the Situation at Our Northern Border | 2/3/2025 | Trade | This executive order revises the administration’s previous imposition of 25 percent ad valorem rates of duty and 10 percent ad valorem rates of duty as to energy products on Canada. Given the Canadian government’s immediate actions to cooperate on immigration and drug trade policy with the U.S., the administration decided to pause the tariffs until March 4, 2025. |
Progress on the Situation at Our Southern Border | 2/3/2025 | Trade | This executive order temporarily pauses the 25 percent ad valorem rates of duty on the Government of Mexico until March 4, 2025, due to Mexico’s agreement to combat illegal immigration and illicit drug trafficking. During this period, the administration will assess whether Mexico has taken sufficient action to warrant a continued pause on tariffs. |
President Donald J. Trump Imposes Tariffs on Imports from Canada, Mexico and China | 2/1/2025 | Trade | This executive order establishes 25 percent tariffs on all products from Canada and Mexico, and a 10 percent tariff on all products from China. The one exception listed is energy resources from Canada, which will have a decreased 10 percent tariff. These tariffs are applied based on national emergency powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and states that these tariffs are until the fentanyl crisis is alleviated. The tariff placed on China is in response to intellectual property theft, forced technology transfer and other unreasonable behavior. The order states that tariffs will be more beneficial than harmful, given that the other countries have a higher percentage of trade in their respective gross domestic products. |
Imposing Duties to Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our National Border | 2/1/2025 | Trade | This executive order expands the scope of a previously declared national emergency to address the increasing flow of illicit drugs, particularly fentanyl, into the U.S. from Canada. The order cites the growing involvement of drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) and Mexican cartels operating synthesis labs in Canada, asserting that Canadian authorities have failed to provide sufficient attention or meaningful cooperation with U.S. law enforcement to reduce the number of narcotics entering across the northern border. Although public focus has primarily been on the southern border, the president declares that the northern border has also become a dangerously effective conduit for synthetic opioids, with recent data indicating that enough fentanyl crossed from Canada in 2024 to potentially kill more than 9.5 million Americans. The order highlights Canada’s de minimis export practices, which allow small shipments to enter the U.S. duty-free, as a vulnerability exploited by traffickers sending drugs through international mail. To combat this threat, the president invokes his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the National Emergencies Act (NEA) to impose economic penalties on Canadian imports. Effective Feb. 4, 2025, all Canadian goods covered by the order will face a 25 percent ad valorem tariff, while Canadian energy products will be subject to a 10 percent ad valorem tariff. These duties aim to pressure Canada into taking stronger cooperative enforcement actions to dismantle drug production and smuggling networks. |
President Donald J. Trump Launches Massive 10-to-1 Deregulation Initiative | 1/31/2025 | Government Administration | This executive order establishes that the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will ensure that for every new rule, regulation or guidance issued, that agency must identify at least 10 existing rules, regulations or guidance documents to be repealed. This initiative builds upon the directive during President Trump’s first term, which required two existing rules, regulations or guidance documents to be repealed for every new rule, regulation or guidance issued. Furthermore, this order requires that, for the fiscal year 2025, the total incremental cost of new regulations, including repealed, be significantly less than zero. |
Limiting Lame-Duck Collective Bargaining Agreements That Improperly Attempt to Constrain the New President | 1/31/2025 | Government Administration | This executive order establishes new limits on collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) negotiated during the final 30 days of a presidential administration. Lame-duck CBAs negotiated shortly before a presidential transition are deemed undemocratic and obstructive, as they can impose inefficient policies on a new administration. The order aims to prevent outgoing administrations from binding incoming presidents to last-minute agreements that may hinder their policy agenda or executive authority. |
Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism | 1/29/2025 | This executive order seeks to vigorously combat anti-Semitism by building upon Executive Order 13899, issued by President Trump in 2019 that helped enforce civil rights laws to ensure that American Jews are equally protected under the law. The Hamas terrorist attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, against the people of Israel sparked a wave of anti-Semitic discrimination, vandalism and violence against Jewish citizens, particularly in schools and campuses. This order seeks to hold perpetrators of anti-Semitic harassment and violence accountable and calls for the use of all necessary legal tools to prosecute and remove individuals involved in such actions. | |
Expanding Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to Full Capacity | 1/29/2025 | Immigration, Defense | This executive order directs the secretaries of defense and homeland security to operate the Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay at full capacity to provide additional detention space for high-priority criminal aliens unlawfully present in the U.S., as well as address attendant immigration enforcement needs identified by the U.S. Departments of Defense and Homeland Security.

Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday | 1/29/2025 | Government Administration | This executive order aims to provide a grand celebration for the 250th anniversary of American Independence on July 4, 2026, and take other actions to honor the history of the nation. It first establishes the White House Task Force on Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday (Task Force 250), assigning the positions of chair to the president and vice-chair to the vice president and designating its composing members. It notes that the task force will be housed in the U.S. Department of Defense, which will provide its funding and administrative support, and directs agencies to report to the task force regarding their planning. The order then directs the assistant to the president for domestic policy to recommend the president additional historically significant Americans for inclusion in the National Garden of American Heroes to bring the number of heroes to 250. Lastly, it aims to protect America’s monuments from vandalism by reinstating Executive Order 13933 of June 26, 2020 (Protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues and Combatting Recent Criminal Violence) as it was prior to the issuance of Executive Order 14029 of May 14, 2021 (Revocation of Certain Presidential Actions and Technical Amendment). |
Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling | 1/29/2025 | Education | This executive order emphasizes the importance of schools providing a patriotic education that fosters admiration for American values. It also addresses the concern that schools are indoctrinating children with radical gender and race theories that force children to adopt victim or oppressor identities based on characteristics such as skin color, as well as question their gender identity and undergo irreversible procedures without parental consent. These practices undermine personal identity, family unity and parental authority, and often violate anti-discrimination civil rights laws. This order calls for the rescinding of federal funding for illegal and discriminatory practices in K-12 schools, ensures the protection of parental rights and promotes the advancement of patriotic education. |
Expanding Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families | 1/29/2025 | Education | This executive order aims to strengthen education-freedom programs in order to improve student achievement and foster competition among nearby public schools. The current educational system has had a devastating impact on families, communities and national competition. Seventy percent of 8th graders are below proficiency in reading and math, and school assignments based on geography drive up housing costs in districts with preferred schools. This order allows families to choose the best educational setting and school type for their children in order to address these issues. |
Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation | 1/28/2025 | Social Issues, Health | This executive order declares it the policy of the U.S. to not fund, sponsor, promote, assist or support people under 19 years old in transitioning their sex. The executive order directs heads of certain executive departments, agencies and offices to take steps to prevent sex transitions by people under 19 years old. |
Reinstating Service Members Discharged Under the Military’s COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate | 1/27/2025 | Defense, Health | The secretary of defense issued a mandate on Aug. 24, 2021, requiring all service members to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. This executive order allows for the reinstatement of military personnel who were discharged for refusing the vaccine or left the service in response to the mandate.

Restoring America’s Fighting Force | 1/27/2025 | Defense | This executive order orders the cessation of all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs within the U.S. Armed Forces to ensure impacted departments and military branches commit to the administration’s goals of promoting meritocracy and eliminate race-based and sex-based discrimination.

Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness | 1/27/2025 | Defense | This executive order directs the U.S. Department of Defense to adhere to military service medical exemption standards by excluding individuals afflicted with physical or mental disorders from military service.

This order also directs the U.S. Armed Forces to prohibit biological males from using or sharing sleeping, changing or bathing facilities with their biological female counterparts. |
The Iron Dome for America | 1/27/2025 | Defense | This executive order directs the secretary of defense to develop an architectural plan for a missile defense shield, similar to the Iron Dome in Israel, to deter foreign aerial attacks and ensure second-strike capability.

Council to Assess the Federal Emergency Management Agency | 1/24/2025 | Government Administration | This executive order establishes the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Review Council to assess and recommend operations, efficacy and impartiality improvements to disaster response. Recent disasters such as Hurricane Helene exposed shortcomings in FEMA’s ability to provide timely and equitable aid despite significant federal spending. Key objectives include evaluating FEMA’s effectiveness, analyzing federal-state dynamics and identifying reform opportunities. The council will include up to 20 members chaired by the secretaries of defense and homeland security and submit a detailed report on potential FEMA reforms to the president within 180 days of its first meeting. |
Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence | 1/23/2025 | Emerging Technology | This executive order calls for the development of an “Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Plan” to establish a policy agenda to ensure the U.S. maintains and strengthens its global AI dominance. It aims to promote economic competitiveness, bolster national security and prioritize AI systems free from “ideological bias and engineered social agendas.” The order directs White House officials to review and modify or revoke existing policies and directives that inhibit AI innovation and leadership.

The secretary of the interior is tasked with developing a plan within 90 days to facilitate federal recognition of the Lumbee Tribe and must analyze legal pathways, consult tribal leadership and deliver strategies to ensure eligibility for federal benefits. While they have had recognition from the state of North Carolina since 1885 and partial recognition by the federal government under the 1956 Lumbee Act, the Lumbee Tribe has been denied full federal benefits associated with such recognition. |
Keeping Americans Safe in Aviation | 1/21/2025 | Social Issues, Transportation | This executive order suspends all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, including those pertaining to recruitment and hiring, within the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential | 1/20/2025 | This executive order facilitates the development and production of natural resources on federal and state lands in Alaska, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and prioritizes the development of liquified natural gas (LNG) and its transport from Alaska to other regions of the U.S. While virtually all of its actions focus on the development of oil, gas, critical mineral and timber resources in Alaska, the order also requires the secretary of the interior to “review all Interior guidance regarding the taking of … land into trust” for the benefit of Alaska Natives and “all Public Land Orders withdrawing lands for selection of Alaska Native Corporations to determine if any such agency action should be revoked” as inconsistent with the Alaska Statehood Act and other federal statutes that specifically apply to Alaska. The order also directs the interior secretary to deny a request pending before the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to establish an Indigenous sacred site in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, rescind the National Park Service’s final rule entitled “Alaska; Hunting and Trapping in National Preserves” (July 3, 2024), and review the framework of hunting, fishing and subsistence rights in Alaska. | |

Establishing and Implementing the President’s Department of Government Efficiency | 1/20/2025 | Government Administration | This executive order establishes the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as an official federal agency, rather than a non-governmental advisory group as President Donald Trump initially announced.

Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats | 1/20/2025 | Defense | This executive order increases vigilance in vetting and screening standards concerning immigration and visa-issuance across federal agencies. The secretary of state, U.S. attorney general, secretary of homeland security and director of national intelligence shall identify countries that warrant suspension of admission from its nationals and re-evaluate immigration programs to create stricter uniform baseline rules that protect the safety and security of the American people.
