Trump Executive Order Tracker

This executive order directs the Department of Labor to reevaluate and clarify its guidance under ERISA regarding fiduciary duties related to including alternative assets in 401(k) retirement plans. It aims to expand access to higher-yield, diversified investment opportunities - such as private equity, real estate, digital assets, and infrastructure - for retirement savers, while reducing litigation risk and regulatory burdens that currently limit such access. The order also instructs the SEC to consider revising accredited investor rules to support this goal, and encourages coordination among federal regulators to ensure broader financial inclusion and retirement security.

This executive order directs federal banking regulators and the Small Business Administration (SBA) to eliminate guidance, practices, and regulatory frameworks that enable politicized or unlawful debanking, particularly targeting individuals and businesses based on political or religious beliefs. It aims to safeguard fair access to financial services by requiring regulators to remove “reputation risk” considerations, identify and reinstate victims of debanking, and enforce penalties where violations occur. The order also mandates a comprehensive Treasury-led strategy to combat discriminatory banking practices, including referrals for civil enforcement in cases of religious discrimination.

Orders the termination of prior Syria-related sanctions effective July 1, 2025, while directing the Secretaries of State, Treasury, and Commerce to implement new authorities that both provide targeted sanctions relief and impose expanded measures to hold members of the former Assad regime accountable for war crimes, narcotics trafficking, and human rights abuses.
 
The order revokes the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13338 and associated authorities while preserving enforcement actions for conduct occurring before the effective date.
 
Within 30 days of any suspension of sanctions under the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, must brief the appropriate congressional committees. Several sanctions imposed under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act are waived following a determination of fundamental leadership change; the waiver becomes effective 20 days after the required congressional notification is transmitted. The Secretary of State, in coordination with the Departments of the Treasury and Commerce, is directed to implement the new framework, including a review of Syria’s State Sponsor of Terrorism designation and pursuit of sanctions relief at the United Nations. The order also expands the scope of Executive Order 13894 to target individuals affiliated with the former Assad regime for war crimes, narcotics trafficking, and human rights abuses.

Orders the issuing of paper checks to cease for all Federal disbursements inclusive of intragovernmental payments, benefits payments, vendor payments, and tax refunds.

The Secretary of the Treasury shall establish an office to administer and maintain control of custodial accounts collectively known as the “United States Digital Asset Stockpile,” capitalized with all digital assets owned by the Department of the Treasury, other than BTC, that were finally forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. Within 30 days of the date of this order, the head of each agency shall provide the Secretary of the Treasury and the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets with a full accounting of all Government Digital Assets in such agency’s possession, including any information regarding the custodial accounts in which such Government Digital Assets are currently held that would be necessary to facilitate a transfer of the Government Digital Assets to the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve or the United States Digital Asset Stockpile.

This order revises the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program to ensure the definition of “public service” excludes organizations that engage in activities that have a substantial illegal purpose. Illegal purposes include violating immigration laws, supporting terrorism, supporting child abuse, engaging in a pattern of aiding and abetting illegal discrimination, or engaging in a pattern of violating State tort laws.

It shall be the policy of the executive branch to ensure Presidential supervision and control of the entire executive branch. Additionally, all executive departments and agencies, including independent agencies, are required to submit for review all proposed and final significant regulatory actions to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Executive Office of the President before publication in the Federal Register. 

Directs the heads of executive departments and agencies to review all funding provided to NGOs and align future funding decisions with the interests of the United States and the goals of the Trump-Vance administration. 

Orders that for each new regulation issued, at least 10 prior regulations be identified for elimination.  This practice is to ensure that the cost of planned regulations is responsibly managed and controlled through a rigorous regulatory budgeting process.
