Trump’s new military executive orders set for Pete Hegseth’s first day
January 27, 2025 / /
President Donald Trump is expected to sign a series of new executive orders focused on the military on Monday. These orders include reinstating troops who were dismissed for refusing COVID-19 vaccines, evaluating the status of transgender personnel, and providing more details on the rollback of diversity programs.
This comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth started his first day in office.
The new orders aim to clarify the initial directives Trump issued shortly after his inauguration last week, which revoked protections for transgender troops established by former President Joe Biden and prohibited DEI initiatives at federal agencies.
