WATCH: Trump signs 8 executive orders onstage after inaugural parade - Trump 2025 Inauguration - PBS NewsHour
President Donald Trump signed eight executive orders onstage Monday night at his inaugural parade and rally at Capital One Arena in Washington.
The orders included withdrawing once again from the Paris climate accord, freezing most federal hiring and requiring federal workers to return to in-person work full-time.
After signing the orders, Trump tossed the pens he used to members of the audience.
The inauguration ceremony, including the swearings-in, took place indoors this year, a last-minute change to the pomp and circumstance due to extreme cold forecasted for the nation’s capital.
As Trump returns to the White House, he’s expected to act quickly on his campaign promises and roll back more of his predecessor’s policies. As his second term begins, his party controls both chambers of Congress and conservative justices have a majority on the Supreme Court. Trump is only the second president to return to office in non-consecutive terms, the only president convicted of a felony and the oldest person to win election to the White House. - Aired on 01/20/2025.
