President Donald Trump rescinded more than 70 executive actions of his predecessor on his first day in office on Jan. 20, mere hours after the official swearing-in ceremony.

Trump announced earlier in the day that one of his first actions as the 47th president would be undoing much of the previous administration’s work, targeting former President Joe Biden’s executive orders (EOs) on policies related to COVID-19, immigration, the environment, gender and race, health care, and others.
