Trump aims to sign around 100 executive orders on Day One to counter the Biden Administration’s legislative agenda, including measures like closing the U.S.-Mexico border and ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Legal challenges are expected, particularly on issues such as birthright citizenship and transgender rights.
