This Presidential Action, issued under the authority granted by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the National Emergencies Act (NEA), builds upon the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14380 concerning the policies and actions of the Government of Cuba.

The order directs the Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury to block the property and interests in property of foreign persons determined to be involved in operating within key destabilizing sectors of the Cuban economy, engaging in serious human rights abuses, or corruption.

Furthermore, it suspends the entry of such designated aliens into the United States and authorizes sanctions, including blocking U.S.-held assets, against foreign financial institutions that facilitate transactions for blocked persons.

This Presidential Action establishes a policy framework to expand retirement savings opportunities for American workers who do not have access to employer-sponsored plans, such as independent contractors and small business employees.

Key actions include directing the Secretary of the Treasury to create the website TrumpIRA.gov by January 1, 2027, to list high-quality, low-cost Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) that meet strict expense ratio standards (limited to 0.15%).

The order also mandates steps to help eligible individuals access the Federal Saver's Match benefit established under the SECURE 2.0 Act and requires collaboration to ensure worker protections and issue legislative recommendations to codify these provisions.

This document, titled 'Presidential Actions,' officially notifies the Senate of new nominations for various high-level federal positions, including Under Secretaries at the Treasury and Homeland Security, positions on regulatory boards like the NTSB and NLRB, U.S. Attorneys, and Ambassadors to foreign nations.

Additionally, the document records the withdrawal of a previously submitted nomination for the Ambassador to the Republic of El Salvador.

This Presidential Action issues an order, made pursuant to the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, to implement a sequestration reduction on October 1, 2026.

The order directs that direct spending budgetary resources for fiscal year 2027 in all non-exempt budget accounts must be reduced by the specific amount calculated and reported by the Office of Management and Budget on April 3, 2026, ensuring strict adherence to the law's specified sequestration procedures.

This Presidential Proclamation directs adjustments to the importation of patented pharmaceuticals and associated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) based on a finding that current import levels threaten national security by creating overreliance on foreign supply chains for critical medications.

The President imposes a 100% ad valorem tariff on these imports, while simultaneously offering reduced rates (20% or 0%) to companies that commit to or achieve onshoring of production and pricing agreements, and grants zero tariffs to certain specialized pharmaceutical categories.

The action also directs federal departments to pursue negotiation agreements to further secure domestic supply and requires monitoring of generic drug imports, though no immediate tariffs are placed on generics.

This Presidential Action establishes the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud within the Executive Office of the President, chaired by the Vice President, to develop and implement a comprehensive national strategy against fraud, waste, and abuse in federally funded benefit programs administered by states.

The order cites extensive fraud in programs like SNAP and Medicaid, often exacerbated by lax state controls and alleged political motivations, and directs the Task Force to mandate minimum anti-fraud standards, improve eligibility verification, coordinate data sharing, and pursue enforcement actions, including examination of withholding funds from non-compliant jurisdictions.

This Presidential Action establishes a policy favoring the reduction of regulatory barriers across federal agencies to lower the costs and speed the process of residential construction, thereby promoting American homeownership.

The order directs components within the Departments of the Army, EPA, Commerce, HUD, Transportation, Agriculture, and Energy, alongside the FHFA and the Council on Environmental Quality, to review and revise existing rules—particularly those related to water permitting, environmental review (NEPA/CWA), building codes, and development mandates—that unnecessarily constrain housing inventory.

Furthermore, it requires HUD to develop best practices for state and local governments to mimic this deregulation and mandates an evaluation of aligning Opportunity Zone incentives to specifically boost single-family home construction.

The President issued an order to reduce regulatory burdens imposed primarily by Dodd-Frank and subsequent rulemakings that have increased compliance costs and reduced participation, especially among community banks, in mortgage origination and servicing.

The action directs various federal agencies, including the CFPB, Federal Reserve, FDIC, and FHFA, to revise rules concerning Ability-to-Repay (ATR), Qualified Mortgage (QM), HMDA reporting, capital requirements, appraisals, and servicing to improve the availability and affordability of mortgage credit, particularly for smaller banks and creditworthy borrowers facing barriers.
