Executive: Executive Orders and Trump

executive: Many of those decisions make real several of Trump's most contentious campaign promises, according to CTV. The actions include an executive order to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, an announcement to move forward with approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, and an order to cut funding from so-called sanctuary cities, such as New York and Seattle, that protect undocumented immigrants. Trump has signed 14 executive actions since his inauguration last Friday, including six executive orders and eight presidential memoranda, which allow the president to set policy directives. On Friday, Trump signed two new executive orders at the Pentagon. We don't want 'em here, Trump said during the announcement. One called for new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the U.S., a move that echoes Trump's campaign call for an outright Muslim ban. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
