Washington Times - President Trump rescinded 19 executive orders, directives and regulations signed by President Joe Biden, including some related to gender, climate change and labor practices.
Some of the Biden-era orders that Mr. Trump rolled back Friday included eliminating the use of the Defense Production Act to push climate initiatives such as mandates for electric heat pumps and solar panels, directing federal agencies to push joining a union as part of employment as well as prioritize workplace safety initiatives, and elevating gender ideology in foreign diplomacy.
Mr. Trump also reversed his predecessor’s 2021 executive order raising the minimum wage for federal contractors to $15 an hour. A September 2022 order by Mr. Biden directing the government to invest more funds in the biotechnology industry to develop materials for clean energy generation was also canceled.
A White House fact sheet released alongside the executive order blasted Mr. Biden’s order as elevating “radical gender ideology,” “pushing “his Green New Scam,” imposing “unnecessary regulations on industry” and funneling “federal resources into radical biotech and biomanufacturing initiatives under the guise of environmental policy.”
