President Donald Trump began his second administration with a blitz of policy actions to reorient U.S. government priorities.

President Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order late Monday during his first hours in office recognizing only two sexes and preventing government dollars from being spent on what his administration called “gender ideology.

Within hours of his inauguration, President Donald Trump issued an executive order suspending the enforcement of a TikTok ban that had taken effect the previous day. The move tossed a lifeline to TikTok -- and its 170 million users in the United States.

An executive order is an instruction from the president which has the weight of the law behind it. But Trump's order does not overturn the ban. Instead it tells the US attorney general not to enforce the law for now - something experts had expected would be his first move.
