Donald Trump has vowed to sign more than 200 executive actions as part of his first duties as he enters the White House for the second time.
As part of a long list of policy priorities, Donald Trump has said that he would focus on actions regarding border security, energy and looking at ways to reduce the cost of living for families.
He has also announced that he hoped to bring an end to the number of DEI programmes in place across the US government, according to Fox News.
A senior administration official said that the Republican will end "Catch and Release", pause all offshore wind leases and withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord - the very accord that Joe Biden reversed when he entered the Oval Office four years ago.
"The President is issuing a historic series of executive orders and actions that will fundamentally reform the American government, including the complete and total restoration of American sovereignty," the official revealed to Fox News Digital.
According to the Wall Street Journal, it is also expected that the President-elect will call for a "revolution of common sense" during his inaugural address, citing excerpts of his prepared remarks.
"I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success," Trump is expected to say.
"A tide of change is sweeping the country. My message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor and the vitality of history's greatest civilization."
