In a decisive move on March 14, 2025, President Donald Trump has taken significant steps to reshape the federal landscape by rescinding a series of executive orders and memoranda that were enacted during the Biden administration. This action comes as part of Trump’s overarching strategy to restore what he refers to as ‘common sense’ to the federal management of policies affecting American lives and the economy.
Previously, on January 20, 2025, Trump had initiated this process by revoking 78 executive orders, marking the start of a systematic effort to reassess the previous administration’s policies. Now, with the recent executive order, Trump has outlined further rescissions that he believes are detrimental to the economic, social, and national security fabric of the United States.
Among the significant executive actions revoked, President Trump called for the elimination of the following:
1. **Executive Order 13994**: Aimed at ensuring a data-driven response to COVID-19 and future public health threats.
2. **National Security Memorandum 3**: This focused on revitalizing America’s foreign policy and national security partnerships, which Trump deemed unnecessary.
3. **Multiple Presidential Determinations**: The orders linked to various utilities including infant formula supply, energy resources, and environmental measures related to solar panels and other green energy technologies.
These actions have been perceived by Trump as obstructive to unleashing the full potential of American citizens and their economic ambitions. Trump’s previous critiques of Biden’s policies indicate that he feels these orders hamper progress on job creation and reduce the government’s accountability and efficacy.
By rescinding these orders, Trump aims to forge a new path that prioritizes economic growth, national security, and American traditional values. Analysts suggest that this could signal a larger shift that may entail a reevaluation of governmental regulatory frameworks that have been in place for years.
As Trump continues to dismantle these executive measures, he maintains support from segments of the populace who favor a more unrestricted market approach and a leaner federal presence in economic sectors. Moving forward, these changes may pose significant ripples across policy areas, influencing how the federal government interacts with various industries including healthcare, labor rights, and environmental regulation.
Trump’s approach reflects his commitment to restoring a pro-American agenda, a central theme of his public statements leading into 2025.
