WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday said he would immediately declare a national energy emergency, promising to fill up strategic reserves and export American energy all over the world.
"We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it," he said in his inaugural address after being sworn in.
Trump will sign 11 border-related executive orders, including one authorizing the deployment of U.S. troops to the border, a Fox News reporter said in a post on X on Monday.
Another order will designate certain international cartels and crime organizations as terrorist groups, while another will direct the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense to finish construction of the border wall and deploy personnel to control the border, the reporter said, citing details from three of the orders that Fox obtained.
Trump will issue an order intended to end birthright citizenship for U.S.-born children whose parents lack legal immigration status, an incoming White House official said on Monday.
Citing the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the official said in briefing: "The federal government will not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the United States. We are also going to enhance vetting and screening of illegal aliens."
