    Trump signed the first executive order of his presidency, rescinding 78 Biden executive orders and other laws.

    His aide announced that he was signing an executive order marking the “rescission of 78 Biden era executive actions, executive orders, presidential memoranda and others.” It’s unclear which Biden-era orders are included.

    Trump sat at a desk set up with a stack of executive orders prepared, with crowds cheering the signing of every document.
