Trump Issues Executive Orders to Withdraw from TPP, Freeze Federal Hiring


Just days after he was officially sworn into office, President Trump introduced his first executive orders. The orders are as significant as they are sweeping, affecting positive change in a way that conservatives may not even have dreamed possible.

Per the terms of the three orders, President Trump has put a freeze on federal hiring, reinstated Ronald Reagan’s ban on giving foreign nations funds that go to abortion, and withdrawing the US from the Trans-Pacific Partnership:

“By putting the government on a hiring freeze and backing out of the TPP trade deal, endorsed by former President Barack Obama, Trump made good on two major campaign promises.

The federal employee hiring freeze does not include the U.S. military, according to Trump.

NBC News has more details on Trump’s latest executive actions:

Trump also acted Monday to reinstate the so-named “Mexico City policy” first instituted by Ronald Reagan. That directive essentially barred recipients of U.S. foreign aid from promoting abortion as a method of family planning.”
