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.

Trump went on to declare a national emergency on the Southern Border while designating criminal cartels as terror groups.

He also signed an executive order to bring an end to birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented parents.
