Ending Birth Tourism
This executive order directs the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to take actions to prevent "birth tourism" — the practice of foreign nationals entering the U.S. on nonimmigrant visas to give birth and secure citizenship for their children. The order delegates presidential authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act to bar entry, revoke visas, remove aliens, and penalize facilitators, with humanitarian and national-interest exemptions.
Imposing Additional Duties To Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Dairy
This proclamation imposes an additional 50 percent ad valorem duty on certain Canadian products, effective August 19, 2026, to offset Canada's discriminatory dairy tariff-rate quota allocation measures under USMCA that favor EU cheese exporters over U.S. exporters. The action uses Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 after finding that Canada unreasonably restricts U.S. retailers from accessing USMCA dairy TRQs while allowing EU retailers access under CETA.
Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks
This executive order mandates a government-wide transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to protect against future quantum computing threats. It sets specific deadlines for federal agencies to migrate high-value assets and high-impact systems to PQC standards, requires new procurement rules for contractors, and establishes coordination roles across OMB, NIST, CISA, and NSA.
Promoting Efficiency, Accountability, and Performance in Federal Contracting
This executive order makes fixed-price contracts the default for federal procurement, requiring written justification and agency-head approval for cost-reimbursement and other non-fixed-price contracts above specified dollar thresholds. It mandates review and renegotiation of agencies' 10 largest non-fixed-price contracts within 90 days, with semi-annual reporting to OMB and proposed amendments to the Federal Acquisition Regulation within 120 days.
Urgent National Action To Save College Sports
This executive order imposes federal contract and grant consequences on major college athletic programs that violate interstate athletic governing body rules on eligibility, transfers, revenue-sharing, and NIL payments, effective August 1, 2026. It also directs federal agencies to challenge state laws that conflict with these rules and encourages the NCAA to establish national standards including age limits, transfer restrictions, and revenue-sharing guardrails for women's and Olympic sports.
Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors
This Executive Order mandates that all federal contracts include a clause prohibiting contractors and subcontractors from engaging in racially discriminatory DEI activities, defined as disparate treatment based on race or ethnicity in employment, contracting, or resource allocation. It requires agencies to insert this clause within 30 days, empowers contract termination and debarment for noncompliance, invokes False Claims Act liability, and directs the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to amend regulations within 60 days.
Ensuring Truthful Advertising of Products Claiming To Be Made in America
This executive order directs the FTC to prioritize enforcement against false "Made in America" claims, especially by foreign sellers on digital marketplaces. It also requires agencies overseeing federal procurement contracts to verify American-origin claims and refer misrepresenting contractors to the Department of Justice for potential False Claims Act liability.
Ending Certain Tariff Actions
This executive order terminates the additional ad valorem duties imposed under IEEPA across nine prior executive orders targeting Canada, Mexico, China, Venezuela, Brazil, Russia, Cuba, and Iran. The national emergencies underlying those orders remain in effect, and other duties (Section 232, Section 301) are unaffected. Agency heads must stop collecting these duties as soon as practicable.
Ensuring Affordable Beef for the American Consumer
This proclamation temporarily increases the U.S. beef tariff-rate quota by 80,000 metric tons for calendar year 2026, specifically for lean beef trimmings used in ground beef. The entire additional quota is allocated to Argentina and administered in four 20,000 mt quarterly tranches beginning February 13, 2026, to address high domestic beef prices caused by drought, wildfires, and restricted cattle imports from Mexico.
Presidential Determination With Respect to the Efforts of Foreign Governments Regarding Trafficking in Persons
This determination, issued under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, imposes foreign assistance restrictions on 17 governments for FY 2026 due to inadequate anti-trafficking efforts. It withholds nonhumanitarian, nontrade-related assistance from countries including Afghanistan, Chad, Iran, China, Russia, and Venezuela, with partial national-interest waivers for some countries and adds Sint Maarten to the restricted list.
Ensuring Continued Accountability in Federal Hiring
This executive order extends federal workforce reduction policies by requiring agency-level approval for nearly all new hires and vacancies, establishing Strategic Hiring Committees, and mandating Annual Staffing Plans aligned with administration priorities. It exempts national security, immigration enforcement, public safety, and political appointees from restrictions, while prohibiting contracting to circumvent hiring limits.
Decision of the President and Statement of Reasons
On October 6, 2025, the President approved Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority's appeal and its 2016 revised consolidated application for the Ambler Road Project, a transportation system in Alaska.

Use of Appropriated Funds for Illegal Lobbying and Partisan Political Activity by Federal Grantees
This memorandum directs the Attorney General to investigate whether federal grant funds are being illegally used for lobbying and partisan political activities by grantees, citing potential violations of 31 U.S.C. 1352. The Attorney General must report progress to the President within 180 days and coordinate with agency heads on enforcement actions.
Improving Oversight of Federal Grantmaking
This executive order overhauls federal grantmaking by requiring senior political appointees to review all discretionary grants and funding announcements, bans funding for DEI initiatives, transgender education, illegal immigration support, and 'anti-American values,' mandates termination-for-convenience clauses in all grants, limits indirect costs at universities, and directs OMB to revise the Uniform Guidance to streamline applications and reduce administrative overhead.
Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government
This executive order directs federal agencies to procure large language models (LLMs) only from vendors that adhere to two "Unbiased AI Principles": truth-seeking and ideological neutrality, specifically prohibiting DEI-related content manipulation. The order requires OMB to issue implementation guidance within 120 days, after which agencies must revise procurement contracts and adopt compliance procedures within 90 days.
Strengthening and Unleashing America's Law Enforcement To Pursue Criminals and Protect Innocent Citizens
This executive order directs the Attorney General and other officials to expand legal protections and resources for state and local law enforcement, including creating an indemnification mechanism for officers, reviewing federal consent decrees within 60 days, increasing military asset transfers to local police within 90 days, and prioritizing prosecution of state/local officials who obstruct criminal law enforcement or implement DEI initiatives that restrict policing. It also mandates using Homeland Security Task Forces established under EO 14159 to advance these objectives.
Reducing Anti-Competitive Regulatory Barriers
This executive order directs all federal agencies to review their regulations and identify those that are anti-competitive—such as rules creating monopolies, barriers to entry, or burdensome licensing requirements—with recommendations for rescission or modification. The FTC Chairman and Attorney General will consolidate these findings for OMB review, with the goal of incorporating changes into the Unified Regulatory Agenda.
Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting To Unleash American Energy
This executive order directs EPA, DOE, FERC, NRC, and several Interior Department subcomponents to implement a sunset system where existing energy-related regulations automatically expire unless agencies actively extend them after cost-benefit review. All covered regulations must receive a Conditional Sunset Date by September 30, 2025, with existing regulations expiring one year after the sunset rule's effective date unless extended. New regulations must include sunset dates no more than 5 years out.
Eliminating Waste and Saving Taxpayer Dollars by Consolidating Procurement

Achieving Efficiency Through State and Local Preparedness
This executive order directs a comprehensive review and restructuring of federal preparedness and resilience policies, shifting from an all-hazards to a risk-informed approach while empowering state and local governments. It mandates new strategy documents, policy revisions, and a National Risk Register to quantify threats, explicitly excluding "misinformation" and "cognitive infrastructure" from critical infrastructure policy. Multiple existing executive orders, national security memoranda, and presidential policy directives are slated for review and potential rescission or replacement.
Designating English as the Official Language of the United States
This executive order designates English as the official language of the United States and revokes Executive Order 13166 (2000), which required federal agencies to provide services to limited-English-proficiency individuals. However, the order explicitly does not require agencies to change their current multilingual services, leaving operational decisions to agency heads.
Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Deregulatory Initiative
This executive order directs all federal agencies to review existing regulations within 60 days and identify rules that are unconstitutional, exceed statutory authority, impose undue costs, or impede economic and technological progress. It also instructs agencies to de-prioritize enforcement of regulations that go beyond the "best reading" of their underlying statutes and to develop a Unified Regulatory Agenda to rescind or modify targeted rules. The order integrates DOGE Team Leads into the regulatory review process and exempts military, national security, immigration, and federal workforce management actions.
Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Workforce Optimization Initiative
This executive order implements a major federal workforce reduction initiative through the 'Department of Government Efficiency' (DOGE). It establishes a 4-to-1 hiring ratio (one hire for every four departures), mandates large-scale reductions in force prioritizing non-statutorily required offices including DEI initiatives, requires DOGE Team Lead approval for career hires, and directs rulemaking to tighten federal employee suitability criteria.
Establishment of the White House Faith Office
This executive order establishes the White House Faith Office within the Executive Office of the President, replacing prior faith-based initiative offices. It amends several Bush-era executive orders to rename existing centers and creates a new coordinating structure to advance faith-based partnerships in federal programs, religious liberty enforcement, and grant access for religious organizations.
Council To Assess the Federal Emergency Management Agency
This executive order establishes a 20-member council co-chaired by the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Defense to review FEMA's disaster response performance, staffing, political impartiality, and structural role in federal-state disaster relief.

Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence
This executive order revokes Biden-era AI safety policies, particularly EO 14110, and directs development of a new AI action plan within 180 days.

Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government
This executive order directs the Attorney General and Director of National Intelligence to review federal law enforcement and intelligence activities over the past four years for alleged political weaponization, with reports to the President on remedial actions. It frames the review as correcting misconduct by the prior administration against perceived political opponents.
Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions
This executive order revokes 78 executive orders and memoranda from the prior administration spanning DEI initiatives, climate policy, immigration, healthcare, COVID-19 response, and other areas. It mandates immediate termination of federal DEI implementation, requires two 45-day reviews for additional rescissions, and directs a National Security Advisor review of all National Security Memoranda from 2021-2025.
Unleashing Alaska's Extraordinary Resource Potential
This executive order directs federal agencies to aggressively reverse Biden-era restrictions on Alaska resource development, including oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the National Petroleum Reserve, and Tongass National Forest protections. It mandates expedited permitting for LNG infrastructure, reinstates Trump-era environmental reviews and land management plans, and prioritizes Alaska's energy exports to domestic and Pacific allied markets.
Establishing and Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency"
This Executive Order renames the U.S. Digital Service as the U.S. DOGE Service (USDS), places it in the Executive Office of the President, and creates a temporary organization to advance an 18-month efficiency agenda. It mandates that every federal agency establish a four-person "DOGE Team" within 30 days and grants USDS broad access to agency records and IT systems, displacing prior orders that might block such access.
Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid
This executive order imposes an immediate 90-day pause on all new U.S. foreign development assistance obligations and disbursements pending program-by-program reviews for alignment with presidential foreign policy. The Secretary of State, in consultation with OMB, must conduct reviews and make continue/modify/cease determinations within 90 days, with authority to waive the pause for specific programs.
Reforming the Federal Hiring Process and Restoring Merit to Government Service
This executive order directs a comprehensive reform of federal hiring practices to prioritize merit, efficiency, and ideological alignment with administration goals. It mandates development of a Federal Hiring Plan within 120 days that emphasizes skills-based assessments, reduces time-to-hire, and explicitly prohibits consideration of DEI-related factors while requiring loyalty to the Constitution and Executive Branch.
Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness
This executive order reinstates the name "Mount McKinley" for North America's highest peak (reversing its 2015 renaming to "Denali") and renames the U.S. portion of the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America." It also directs agency heads to review and potentially replace their appointees to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names within seven days, and instructs the Board to advance a policy of honoring "visionary and patriotic Americans" in federal naming decisions.
