Trump 2nd term live updates: Hegseth officially confirmed as secretary of defense

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Friday to establish a task force charged with reviewing the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The article from ABC News discusses former President Donald Trump's plans for a potential second term, focusing on his intentions to use executive actions extensively. Trump has expressed intentions to enact policies through executive orders, bypassing Congress where possible, to implement his agenda swiftly. Key points include his plans to address immigration by potentially reinstating and expanding the travel ban, altering birthright citizenship, and implementing large-scale deportations. Additionally, Trump aims to undo many of President Biden's executive actions, particularly those related to climate change, social justice, and economic policies. He has also hinted at using the Justice Department to target political adversaries, raising concerns about the rule of law and the independence of federal agencies. This approach reflects Trump's strategy to govern with a strong executive hand, potentially leading to significant legal and political battles.
