Here are all executive orders Trump is expected to sign on Day 1

(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump will put pen to paper Monday, signing a slew of executive orders relating to ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs within the federal government, strictly defining two sexes and enforcing heightened border security, among many others.

The president is expected to make good on several campaign promises on his first day in office, but many of his executive orders will likely come up against legal opposition in the coming days.

An executive order is a signed statement about how the president wants the federal government to be managed. They can come in the form of instructions to federal agencies or requests for reports.

“Today I will sign a series of executive orders. With these actions, we will begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense,” Trump said during his inauguration speech Monday.

Trump is expected to sign these executive orders Monday afternoon:

• Border
• Diversity and inclusion
• Free speech
• Energy
• Armed forces
• Renaming Gulf of Mexico, Mount Denali
• Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
• TikTok ban
