Trump pardons January 6 defendants, among first decisions after returning to the White House
A few hours after returning to the White House, the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, signed several executive orders and directives to put his stamp on the new American administration, on issues including energy, criminal pardons and immigration.
Among the first orders was a blanket pardon for over 1,500 people accused of crimes in the January 6, 2021 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
Among those who will benefit from this pardon are those convicted of attacks on police officers.
Trump's action, just hours after returning to the White House, paves the way for the release from prison of those found guilty of violent attacks on police, as well as leaders of far-right groups convicted of failed plots to keep the Republican in power after he lost the 2020 election to former President Joe Biden.
Democrats sharply criticized the decision to include violent protesters in the pardon, many of whose crimes were caught on camera and broadcast live on television.
Trump had suggested in the weeks before returning to the White House that instead of blanket pardons, he would review all the cases of the January 6 defendants one by one. While Vice President JD Vance had said just days earlier that the people responsible for the violence during the Capitol riot "of course" should not be pardoned.
Trump, 78, was sworn in as president on Monday at the Capitol building and, during the ceremony, he portrayed himself as a savior chosen by God to save a nation in decline.
"I was saved by God to make America great again," he said.
Trump also signed an executive order that temporarily suspended all U.S. foreign assistance programs for 90 days, pending a review to determine whether they are consistent with his policy objectives.
It is not yet known how much it is worth and which aid will be affected by this order, as funding for many programs has already been approved by Congress and must be spent, if it has not yet been spent.
The order, among many others that Trump signed on his first day in office, said that “the foreign aid industry and bureaucracy are inconsistent with American interests and in many cases are contrary to American values” and “serve to destabilize world peace by promoting ideas in foreign countries that are directly contrary to harmonious and stable relations within and between nations.”
Si pasojë, Trump shpalli se “asnjë ndihmë e mëtejshme e SHBA-së për jashtë nuk do të shpërndahet në një mënyrë që nuk është plotësisht në përputhje me politikën e jashtme të presidentit të Shteteve të Bashkuara”.
Menjëherë pas betimit të tij si president, autoritetet kufitare të SHBA-së pezulluan një program që lejonte qindra mijëra migrantë të hynin ligjërisht në SHBA përmes planifikimit të një takimi përmes një aplikacioni në telefon. Takimet ekzistuese u anuluan.
Afro 1.660 afganë që ishin miratuar nga qeveria amerikane për të emigruar në SHBA, përfshirë anëtarë të familjeve të personelit ushtarak amerikan aktiv, panë se fluturimet e tyre u anuluan si pasojë e një urdhri të Trumpit që pezullonte programet e refugjatëve në SHBA, tha një zyrtar amerikan dhe një avokat për zhvendosjen e refugjatëve.
Në Shtëpinë e Bardhë, Trump nënshkroi edhe një urdhër që shpallte emergjencë kombëtare në kufirin SHBA-Meksikë, që do të çlironte fonde dhe do t’i lejonte atij të dislokonte trupa atje.
Ai nënshkroi një urdhër për t'i dhënë fund një politike që u jep shtetësinë atyre që lindin në Shtetet e Bashkuara, një veprim që me siguri do të shkaktojë një betejë të gjatë ligjore. Një urdhër tjetër ekzekutiv shpalli kartelet e drogës meksikane si organizata terroriste.
Trump tërhoqi përsëri Shtetet e Bashkuara nga Marrëveshja e Parisit për klimën, duke larguar kështu ndotësin më të madh historik në botë nga përpjekjet globale për të luftuar ndryshimet klimatike për herë të dytë brenda një dekade.
Një urdhër tjetër tërhoqi Shtetet e Bashkuara nga Organizata Botërore e Shëndetësisë, duke deklaruar se agjencia globale e shëndetësisë kishte keqmenaxhuar pandeminë e COVID-19 dhe kriza të tjera ndërkombëtare të shëndetit.
Plani, që përputhet me kritikat e vazhdueshme të Trumpit ndaj agjencisë shëndetësore të OKB-së, përfaqëson një ndryshim dramatik në politikën globale të shëndetit të SHBA-së dhe izolon më tej Uashingtonin nga përpjekjet ndërkombëtare për të luftuar pandemitë.
“Po heqim gjithë kancerin ... të shkaktuar nga administrata Biden”, tha Trump ndërsa nënshkroi një sërë urdhrash ekzekutivë në Zyrën Ovale.
Urdhra të tjerë revokuan politikat e administratës Biden mbi inteligjencën artificiale dhe automjetet elektrike. Ai gjithashtu urdhëroi punonjësit e qeverisë të kthehen në zyrë, në vend që të punojnë nga shtëpia.
Trump nënshkroi edhe dokumente për të krijuar një "Departament për Efikasitetin Qeveritar", një bord këshillimor i jashtëm i kryesuar nga miliarderi Elon Musk, që synon të kufizojë pjesë të mëdha të shpenzimeve qeveritare.
Në Departamentin e Shtetit, dhjetëra diplomatëve të lartë jo-partiakë iu kërkua të japin dorëheqjen si pjesë e një plani më të gjerë për të zëvendësuar nëpunësit civilë jo-partiakë me besnikë.
Trump tha në rrjetet sociale se ekipi i tij ishte në procesin e largimit të mbi 1.000 të emëruarve nga administrata Biden.
He also said he would issue orders to eliminate federal diversity programs and require the government to recognize only genders assigned at birth.
Another executive order signed says Trump aims to restore free speech and end censorship, drawing criticism from opponents who point to his past actions of threatening and suing journalists, critics and political opponents.
Trump and his Republican allies have accused the administration of former Democratic President Joe Biden of encouraging the suppression of free speech on online platforms.
However, many of the accusations against the previous administration have focused on government efforts to combat false claims about vaccines and elections.
The US Supreme Court ruled in June that the Biden administration's approach to social media companies does not violate America's First Amendment to freedom of speech.
Trump, who took office on Monday, had himself faced restrictions on social media following the attack on the US Capitol by his supporters on January 6, 2021./Rel
