In Washington, D.C. (KFSN), President Donald Trump took action on his return to office by signing a set of executive orders. These actions were aimed at making rapid changes while also emphasizing the country’s significance on the global stage.

Surrounded by supporters at the Capital One arena, Trump signed an executive order to remove the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement.
