MNI POLITICAL RISK-Trump Plans Unprecedented Day 1 Exec Orders

Daily round-up of news from the US.
StoryPolitical Risk

Executive summary:

  • Due to extreme cold weather in the Washington D.C. area, President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance will take the oath of office inside the United States Capitol building today. Please find a rough guide of the Inauguration Day schedule inside.  
  • In a break with tradition, several foreign heads of state and government will be in attendance, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Argentine President Javier Milei, and Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa. China’s vice president, Han Zheng, will attend on behalf of President Xi Jinping, who declined an invitation.
  • Trump is expected to announce an unprecedented swathe of executive actions grouped into three broad policy buckets: Government reform, energy, and border security. 
  • Trump is expected to sign the orders in law via a series of ‘omnibus’ packages throughout the day. Notably, no reports of Trump’s Day 1 orders make substantial mention of tariffs or trade. We have a summary of the roughly 200 expected executive orders inside.
  • Trump intends to visit China within his first 100 days in office, according to the Wall Street Journal.
  • The incoming Trump administration wants regime change in Venezuela but that “doesn't necessarily mean military action,” according to Axios.
  • Poll of the Day:  Americans are more aligned with Trump ahead of his second term than they were during his first term.
