PBS News Hour

Trump issues wave of executive orders in policy overhaul

Season 2025 Episode 21 | 4m 35s

In less than 24 hours, President Trump unleashed a wave of executive actions, some that take effect immediately, some that will be challenged in court and some whose potential impacts are more vague. He promises more executive actions as his Cabinet takes shape and as he moves to purge the federal government of those disloyal to him. Geoff Bennett reports.
