Delivering Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations for Americans
A federal scientific assessment found the United States recommends more childhood vaccines, and more doses, than peer developed countries. The order instructs agencies to advance a three-tier recommendation system, improve safety monitoring, and preserve parental choice while keeping currently available vaccines accessible.
Ending Birth Tourism
The order treats traveling to the United States on a temporary visa for the purpose of giving birth — and thereby claiming citizenship for the child — as an evasion of immigration law. It directs agencies to combat birth-tourism operators who coach clients to misrepresent the purpose of travel to consular and border officials.
Continuing To Protect the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship
The privilege of United States citizenship remains a priceless and profound gift. Since my first day in office, the Administration has guarded against the risks posed by malign foreign actors who attempt to swindle American citizens by taking advantage of the generosity of our Nation.
Establishing the President's Military Spouse Commission
Military spouses are intrinsically linked to the good order, readiness, and retention of our military. Yet the spouses of our Nation's service members face significant challenges due to the nature of military service.
Restoring Trust in the Smithsonian Institution
On March 27, 2025, the President issued Executive Order 14253 (Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History). The Report also overwhelmingly demonstrates that current leadership of both the Smithsonian Institution and the Museum cannot be trusted to tell America's story with honesty and gratitude.
Securing America's Defense Supply Chains and Ensuring Domestic Acquisition of Critical Materials
The United States military is the most effective and powerful fighting force on the planet. It fields the most advanced weapons systems and technologies in the world, utilizing cutting edge equipment to dominate the modern battlefield.
Advancing Regenerative Agriculture and Strengthening American Farm Resilience
American farmers and ranchers have always prioritized care of their land and are increasingly interested in adopting innovative conservation farming practices like regenerative agriculture. These practices strengthen soil health, lower input costs, improve chemical efficiency to reduce overall use, improve farm profitability, maintain yields, increase market value, expand access to new markets, and strengthen rural economies.
Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation
Quantum information science and technology (QIST) will provide transformational capabilities that will drive American innovation, power economic growth, generate high-paying jobs, and bolster national security. In 2018, the President laid the foundation for United States leadership in QIST by signing into law the National Quantum Initiative Act and doubling Federal investment in QIST research and development.
Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks
The advent of large- scale quantum computers, particularly in the hands of adversaries, will pose a significant threat to widely used cryptographic security systems. Ongoing cyber activity against our Nation also presents the risk of adversaries collecting United States information now, and decrypting it later once large-scale quantum computers are operational.
Strengthening Customs Enforcement
Systemic inefficiencies, loopholes, insufficient enforcement mechanisms, and outdated processes have created opportunities for malign actors to evade Federal law. The United States must strengthen its customs enforcement through comprehensive reform, including through agency action and legislation.
Implementing Schedule Policy/Career in the Excepted Service
Officials in confidential, policy-determining, policy- making, and policy-advocating roles (policy-influencing positions) play particularly important roles in helping him fulfill this constitutional duty. Further, two-thirds of senior Federal executives report that their agencies rarely or never reassign or dismiss underperforming managers.
Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security
The United States continues to lead the world in Artificial Intelligence (AI) because of the enormous talent and innovation of our AI industry, and because we refuse to stifle this innovation with overly burdensome regulation. Advanced AI capabilities make our Nation stronger, but also introduce new national security considerations that require coordinated action across executive departments and agencies (agencies), and components.
Removing Unnecessary and Counterproductive Restrictions on Access to Federal Lands
Executive Order 11644 of February 8, 1972 (Use of Off-Road Vehicles on the Public Lands), and Executive Order 11989 of May 24, 1977 (Off-Road Vehicles on Public Lands), are examples of this excessive regulation. Both were issued about 50 years ago when today's technology was not available to be paired with existing Federal statutes.
Realigning United States Core Childhood Vaccine Recommendations With Best Practices From Peer, Developed Countries
The scientific assessment found that the United States currently recommends more childhood vaccines than any peer nation, including more than twice as many vaccine doses as some European nations, and identified a set of consensus vaccines that are consistently recommended in all peer countries. The scientific assessment also found that, instead of implementing vaccination mandates, most peer nations maintain high childhood vaccination rates through public trust and education.
Restoring Integrity to America's Financial System
The Administration has taken significant steps to lower the costs of providing financial services for Americans and reduce unnecessary and burdensome Federal regulations that restrain economic growth and hamper the competitiveness of financial service providers nationwide. Low-dollar cross-border funds transfers have been used to facilitate or commit terrorist financing, narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, and other illegal activity.
Integrating Financial Technology Innovation Into Regulatory Frameworks
To foster this financial innovation, the Federal Government must update regulations to allow integration of digital assets and innovative technology into traditional financial services and payment systems. The Federal Government must also remove overly burdensome and fragmented regulations and supervisory practices that form barriers to entry and primarily benefit incumbent financial services firms.
Imposing Sanctions on Those Responsible for Repression in Cuba and for Threats to United States National Security and Foreign Policy
The policies, practices, and actions of the Government of Cuba, as described in Executive Order 14380, continue to constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. Not only are these policies, practices, and actions designed to harm the United States, but they are also repugnant to the moral and political values of free and democratic societies.
Promoting Retirement-Savings Access for American Workers by Establishing TrumpIRA.gov
The Administration intends to give these often-left-out American workers access to the same type of retirement-savings opportunities offered to every Federal worker and to establish an easy and transparent way for eligible workers to obtain up to a $1,000 match for their savings. Hard-working Americans deserve retirement security in portable savings vehicles that offer access to low-cost investments similar to those offered to Federal workers in the Thrift Savings Plan.
Promoting Efficiency, Accountability, and Performance in Federal Contracting
The American people expect their Government to operate with integrity, efficiency, and transparency. For too long, Federal procurement has tolerated unpredictable costs, bloated overhead, and weak performance incentives.
Accelerating Medical Treatments for Serious Mental Illness
Policymakers and the medical field have long struggled to address the burden of suicide and serious mental illness rates in America. During my first term, we made historic progress in helping those struggling with some of the most insidious mental illnesses, and suicide rates decreased by 5 percent from 2018 to 2020.
Urgent National Action To Save College Sports
In July, the President signed an Executive Order to protect college sports from endless lawsuits and destabilizing financial obligations that could jeopardize women's and Olympic sports, but it has become clear that more comprehensive executive action is required before college sports are lost forever.
Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections
The right to vote in Federal elections is reserved exclusively for citizens of the United States under the Constitution and Federal law. Federal statutes explicitly prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote or voting in Federal elections and impose criminal penalties for violations.
Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors
These costs are inevitably passed on to the Federal Government when it contracts with companies who engage in racially discriminatory DEI activities, or who use subcontractors who do so. It is therefore the policy of the United States to promote economy and efficiency in Federal contracting by preventing racial discrimination.
Further Continuance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency Review Council

Preserving America's Game
For over a century, the Army-Navy Game, known as ``America's Game,'' has stood as a symbol of excellence and the American spirit. Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States that no college football game, specifically college football's CFP or other postseason games, be broadcast in a manner that directly conflicts with the Army-Navy Game.
