Some big changes right after taking office.
As soon as he became president, Donald Trump made some big decisions:
Forgave People: He forgave most of the people involved in the January 6th, 2021, attack on the [[US Capitol::The building in Washington DC where the US Congress (the group of people in the US who are elected to make laws) gathers to work on new laws.]].
TikTok Warning: He gave TikTok’s [[parent company::A large company that owns and operates other companies under it.]], ByteDance, more time to find a new owner or face a [[ban::To disallow something by law.]] in the US.
Left WHO: Trump decided to take the US out of the [[World Health Organization::An organisation under the United Nations that looks after various health-related issues and diseases.]] (WHO).
Left the Paris Agreement: He signed an order to leave the [[Paris Climate Agreement::The Paris Climate Agreement is an international agreement by several governments to work together to combat climate change. It attempts to eliminate pollution, protect the environment, and keep the Earth from becoming too hot.]] . This is a global plan to fight climate change.
Changed Gender Rules: Trump said the US would only recognise two genders—male and female-and ended some policies that supported [[LGBTQ::A term used to refer to people who are attracted to people of the same or all genders. Its full form is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer.]] rights.
On the day Trump took office, many people [[protested::To say or do something in public in order to show one’s disagreement.]] against him. People are curious to see what other changes he will make and how his second term will go.
