President Donald Trump revoked over 80 executive actions on Monday that had been instituted during Biden’s administration.
These included the withdrawal of Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, the imposition of sanctions on specific Jewish settlers in the West Bank, and efforts to mitigate the risks associated with artificial intelligence.
The rescinded orders marked a sweeping reversal of Biden-era policies and were signed by Trump at Capital One Arena immediately after his inauguration as the 47th president.
For context, Biden had only recently removed Cuba from the terrorism list. The list of revoked orders signed by Trump did not detail the specific reasons for these reversals.
In February 2024, Biden had applied sanctions against certain Jewish settlers accused of inciting violence in the West Bank. Additionally, the 2023 AI order aimed to monitor and regulate the potential dangers posed by artificial intelligence.
