United States: On a freezing day that forced his swearing-in indoors, President Trump wasted no time launching a whirlwind of hard-hitting executive orders. From tough stances on immigration and energy to controversial moves on transgender athletes and pardoning January 6 rioters, his first actions in a second term promise to stir up major waves.
