Environment Directives
PUTTING AMERICA FIRST IN INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL AGREEMENTS
This executive order prioritizes US economic interests in international environmental agreements.
It directs the withdrawal of the US from the Paris Agreement and other related UN commitments, revokes the US International Climate Finance Plan, and mandates a review of all relevant policies to ensure they align with this new priority.
The order emphasizes safeguarding American jobs and economic growth while still pursuing environmental protection, but through methods that minimize burdens on the US.
Regulatory Freeze Pending Review
This presidential memorandum institutes a temporary freeze on new federal regulations and initiates a review process for existing and pending rules.
All executive departments and agencies must halt rule-making until appointed heads review and approve them.
Rules already submitted but not published are withdrawn for review, published rules are subject to a 60-day postponement, and the Office of Management and Budget oversees the entire process.
Any actions contradicting this memorandum may be addressed via modification or extension.
