Earlier on Sunday, US President-elect Donald Trump said that within hours of him taking office as the 47th President of the US, he would be revoking dozens of “destructive and radical” executive orders issued by the Biden administration, declaring those orders as “null and void” by the end of Monday.
While addressing the gathering during a candlelight dinner at the National Building Museum in Washington DC, Trump said, “With the stroke of my pen, I will revoke dozens of destructive and radical executive orders and actions of the Biden administration. And by this time tomorrow, they will all be null and void,” as quoted by Fox News. (ANI)
