The Initiative will be co-chaired by the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Senior Advisor for Addiction Recovery, comprising numerous cabinet-level officials and agency heads.
Its goals include coordinating federal programs, increasing public awareness of addiction as a chronic disease, advising agencies on integrating prevention, treatment, and recovery support across various systems (healthcare, criminal justice, housing), and consulting with state and community partners to advance a national effort toward recovery.

Stopping Wall Street from Competing with Main Street Homebuyers
This Presidential Action, issued under the authority vested in the President, aims to stop large Wall Street institutional investors from outcompeting American families for single-family homes, citing high inflation and interest rates as barriers to the American dream of homeownership.
The order directs several federal agencies, including the Departments of the Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, and Veterans Affairs, to issue guidance preventing the facilitated purchase or disposal of single-family homes to large institutional investors, promoting sales instead to owner-occupants.
Furthermore, it mandates reviews for anti-competitive effects in local markets and calls for legislative recommendations to codify this policy permanently.

President Donald J. Trump issued a Proclamation designating January 20, 2026, as the National Day of Patriotic Devotion, marking the first anniversary of his inauguration and celebrating the administration's achievements in areas including border security, economic revival through deregulation and tax cuts, strengthening the military, and restoring perceived national values and American strength on the world stage.
This Presidential Proclamation, issued under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, addresses the finding that imports of semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and their derivatives threaten U.S. national security due to insufficient domestic production capacity.
The President adopts a two-phase plan, beginning with directing negotiations with foreign jurisdictions while immediately imposing a 25 percent ad valorem tariff on a narrow category of advanced computing chips unless the importation supports U.S. technology supply chain buildout or domestic manufacturing.
The proclamation aims to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains essential for defense and critical infrastructure development.
Adjusting Imports of Processed Critical Minerals and Their Derivative Products into the United States
This Presidential Proclamation announces a finding, based on a report from the Secretary of Commerce under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, that imports of Processed Critical Minerals and their Derivative Products (PCMDPs) threaten U.S. national security due to excessive foreign reliance, supply chain insecurity, and domestic production decline. The President concurs with the finding and directs the Secretary of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to jointly negotiate agreements with trading partners to adjust these imports, specifying that if satisfactory agreements are not reached within 180 days, alternative remedies like tariffs or minimum import prices may be considered.

Safeguarding Venezuelan Oil Revenue for the Good of the American and Venezuelan People
This Presidential Action, issued under the authority granted by IEEPA and the NEA, declares a national emergency to safeguard "Foreign Government Deposit Funds" held by the U.S. Treasury on behalf of the Government of Venezuela from attachment or other judicial processes.
The President finds that allowing such process would materially harm U.S. national security and foreign policy by interfering with stability efforts in Venezuela and stemming threats like illegal immigration and narcotics flow.
The order directs the Secretary of the Treasury to hold these funds solely in a custodial capacity, under the direction of the Secretary of State, for public or diplomatic purposes, expressly overriding any previous executive orders affecting these specific funds.
