Top Republicans in both the House and Senate are meeting to discuss legislative priorities for the new Trump administration. The meeting, the first since Trump's inauguration, is expected to focus on Trump's executive orders, border security, energy policies, and a potential 'golden age of America'.
on Tuesday, the first such meeting since the newly sworn-in commander in chief took his oath of office the day before.
“The golden age of America begins right now,” Trump said in his inaugural address on Monday. “From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.” Trump signed several orders on his first day as president, including measures to revoke approximately 80 executive orders implemented by Biden, establish government policy that recognizes only two genders, implement a hiring freeze on federal workers, create the Department of Government Efficiency, and promote energy production.
Trump also signed an executive action targeting what he calls an “electric vehicle mandate” put in place by the Biden administration, a rule that required two-thirds of all new vehicles sold to be zero-emission by 2030. Trump’s executive action revokes that measure to cut off support for electric vehicles and charging stations, which Republicans have criticized as being too expensive for the average person and benefiting China, the world’s largest manufacturer of electric vehicles.
