The start of Donald Trump‘s second term is expected to be epic, as in just the first few days the new president -who will be sworn in later today- will sign more than 100 executive orders.

He gave an early hint yesterday in a speech in Washington, D.C., saying that “every radical and foolish executive order of the Biden administration will be repealed within hours of my being sworn in.” As reported by Financial Times, Trump’s presidential executive orders are aimed at immediately implementing his agenda to restore American power and address critical issues.

“Starting tomorrow, I will act with historic speed and strength and fix every single crisis facing our country,” Trump told a gathering of supporters at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. He has described himself as a “dictator for only the first day” of his term, stressing his intention to make immediate and radical changes.

“He’s going for the maximum shock,” commented Stephen Myrow, a former Bush administration official, noting Trump’s strategy of surprising his political opponents. “They’ve spent the last four years, day in and day out, preparing for Monday, and they have teams of lawyers thinking about how they can get what they want to get,” he said.

Illegal immigration and Homeland Security

Trump intends to declare a national emergency over the situation on the southern border with Mexico. The initiative would free up federal resources to apprehend illegal immigrants, restrict access to asylum and launch the most extensive deportation effort in U.S. history. “Tomorrow (today) at noon, four years of decline end and a new era of American strength and dignity begins,” Trump told the rally.

Commercial politics: Tariffs and protectionism

In his trade agenda, Trump intends to use legislative tools such as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and Article 232 to fast-track tariffs.

His advisers are considering phasing in tariffs on critical sectors, while others, such as Peter Navarro, support immediate and across-the-board tariffs on all imports. “I think more countries will come to the table,” said a Republican congressman, defending the policy.

Foreign policy: Fronts on Gaza, Iran and Ukraine

Trump’s foreign policy is focused on stabilizing the cease-fire agreement in Gaza while considering new sanctions on Iran. The management of the transitional government in Syria, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, is also a contentious issue, with some allies pushing for the group’s terrorist designation to be lifted.

On the Russia-Ukraine war, Trump has promised to find a solution within his first six months in office. Meanwhile, funds approved by the previous Congress will continue to support Ukraine, but no new funding is expected once they are exhausted.

Trump has also said he intends to speak with Vladimir Putin soon, and the Russian president has expressed interest in meeting him. Other world leaders are expected to start flocking to Washington to try to get the new relationship off on the right foot.

Energy policy: An era of “energy sovereignty”

In his energy agenda, Trump intends to lift all Biden administration restrictions on energy production.

Biden’s suspension of new permits a year ago has been a bone of contention for executives looking to increase LNG shipments.

His early orders include reopening permits for LNG terminals and repealing regulations on vehicle emissions. In addition, he plans to reopen protected lands in Alaska for mining.
