- Trump signed hundreds of executive orders on inauguration day. What the media is saying
On his first day back in the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump began implementing his policies by signing more than 200 executive orders. Despite the jubilation in the streets in honor of the inauguration, many of these decisions will radically change the lives of Americans. What foreign media write about the first decisions of the 47th president - in the digest of Izvestia.
Reuters: It will not be easy for Trump to realize the promised "golden age"
After his inauguration, Trump signed a series of executive orders that were the first steps toward implementing a program to expand U.S. territory, limit immigration, increase fossil fuel production and repeal environmental regulations. Trump's allies spent months drafting the regulations and are now better prepared than they were during his first term as president from 2017-2021, when controversy and shortsightedness led to setbacks in the courts and Congress.

But having served one term, he will leave office in four years, and many of his proposals are so controversial that they are certain to lead to sweeping litigation that will test the boundaries of constitutional law
Trump's team has confirmed that it will try to repeal birthright citizenship. According to legal experts, people who have been stripped of their citizenship will sue, leading to a protracted legal dispute. Most scholars believe birthright citizenship is enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Trump also said Monday he would rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America and declare a national energy emergency to allow domestic fossil fuel extraction.
The Spectator: now Trump will become a politician like the others
Unlike previous US presidents who bemoaned external threats, Trump's enemies are on the inside. "The radical and corrupt establishment," advocates of "woke culture," and people who believe in the existence of more than two genders are traitors to Trump. In doing so, he is setting a trap for Democrats who, in his view, by focusing on these issues, have lost sight of the economy and immigration.
The Spectator
While Trump's inaugural address, like most of his previous ones, was sparse in political detail, he set a standard by which it should be judged. After Trump's presidency, inflation should fall and immigration should decline
If voters start judging him by whether he keeps his promises, he will become a politician like the others. Let's see if President Trump can fulfill those promises and if he can be remembered as a peacemaker and unifier. These are resounding statements, as most presidents elected to a second term are now written off as failures.
Fox News: Trump revoked the security clearance of national security officials
President Donald Trump revoked the security clearance of 51 national security officials who said in a public letter that information about Hunter Biden's (son of previous U.S. President Joe Biden. - Ed.) laptop was "Russian disinformation," even though there was no indication of Russian involvement.
Fox News
The letter comes after the New York Post published about emails showing that Hunter Biden coordinated a meeting between Joe Biden and a top executive of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma months before Ukrainian officials were pressured to remove a prosecutor investigating the company's operations
Federal investigators from the Justice Department knew Hunter Biden's laptop had not been exposed and contained "credible evidence." The executive order was one of more than 200 regulations Trump approved on Inauguration Day, including the USA withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement.
Politico: Ukraine could become a new Vietnam for Trump
US President Donald Trump risks being drawn even deeper into the Ukraine conflict like Richard Nixon, who suffered through attempts to withdraw troops from Vietnam, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon warned in an interview with Politico. He favors cutting off aid to Kiev, but Trump's handpicked special envoy to Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, insists military aid to Kiev should be maintained until a decent deal is reached.
Politico
Despite his friendship with Kellogg, Bannon believes such a delay will only increase the risk that the U.S. will be drawn deeper into a conflict that he believes cannot be won and is not in America's national interest. Behind the scenes, he is lobbying furiously for Trump to declare in his inaugural address on Monday that he will end the war quickly
Trump should make it clear to Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky (whose presidential term expired last May - Ed.) that "there's a new sheriff in town" and a deal needs to be made quickly. Zelensky should pay attention to how Trump got Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a cease-fire for the release of Hamas hostages.
Reuters: Americans divided over Trump's inauguration
Donald Trump's supporters praised his actions upon his return to the White House, while critics derided his planned mass deportations and rollback of diversity, equality and inclusion policies. And some said they ignored the inauguration altogether.
Reuters
More than a dozen interviews with Americans across the country showed that the country remains polarized, even as Trump tried to portray himself as a peacemaker and unifier in his inaugural address. Yet his speech was often sharply partisan when he promised to crack down on illegal immigration and planned to launch a sweeping program to reform the federal government
Republicans have a slim majority in Congress, and many experts say Trump will have to work hard to push through an agenda that could have a profound impact on millions of Americans. Some are cheering Trump because of his support for cryptocurrencies, while others are "nervous" about women's rights. In 2022, for example, the U.S. Supreme Court, three of whose justices were appointed by Trump, ended the federal guarantee of a woman's right to an abortion.
