Trump revokes another 18 of Biden's executive orders, actions

On Friday, President Donald Trump revoked 18 different executive orders and actions taken by former President Joe Biden. With the latest reversals, Trump has revoked nearly 100 actions taken by the previous administration.

In an executive action released by the White House, Trump wrote that in a previous executive action, he had "directed the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs to compile lists of additional orders, memoranda, and proclamations issued by the prior administration that should be rescinded."

When Trump came into office, he revoked 78 executive orders and actions from the Biden administration on his first day, but determined that the 18 additional orders and actions needed to be reversed "to advance the policy of the United States to restore common sense to the Federal Government and unleash the potential of American citizens."
