Trump Says He Will Issue Executive Order On First Day In Office Withdrawing U.S. From TPP

In a video message released moments ago by Donald Trump, the President-Elect announced that he has asked his team to develop a list of executive actions for his first day as president and announced that he would issue an executive order on his first day of office, withdrawing the US from the Trans Pacific Partnership, and would issue a notification of intent to withdraw from the TPP, voiding Obama’s “free-trade legacy.”

Trump stated that his agenda “will be based on a simple core principle, putting America first… whether it’s producing steel, building cars, or curing disease, I want the next generation of production and innovation to happen right her on our great homeland.”

He added that he would issue a rule, along the lines of what he proposed during his Gettysburg address, that for every new government regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated, and said that he will direct the labor department to investigate abuses of visa programs.

  • TRADE – Withdraw from TPP and negotiate bilateral trade deals in America’s favor
  • ENERGY – Cancel job-killing restrictions on American energy industry
  • REGULATION – For each new regulation, 2 old rules must be ended
  • NATIONAL SECURITY – Develop a plan to protect America’s vital infrastructure from cyber- and all other forms of attack
  • IMMIGRATION – Investigate all abuses of visa programs
  • ETHICS REFORM – Drain the swamp by imposing a 5-year ban on lobbying (and lifetime ban on lobbying for foreign governments)
