The cancellation of Joe Biden's executive orders by Donald Trump creates uncertainty regarding the continuity of government policies, potentially affecting various sectors that were subject to those orders. This political dispute could lead to increased volatility in markets as investors assess the implications of policy reversals.
Donald Trump, the current President of the United States, announced the cancellation of all executive orders signed by his predecessor, Joe Biden, that he claims were signed using an autopen without Joe Biden's direct approval. Donald Trump alleges that 'radical left lunatics' operated the autopen illegally and that Joe Biden was not involved in the process. He stated that any document signed by Joe Biden with an autopen, which he estimates to be approximately 92% of them, is 'hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect.' Joe Biden and his former aides have denied these claims, with Joe Biden stating, 'I made the decisions during my presidency.' The United States — United States Department of Justice has previously stated that autopens are lawful for presidents to sign bills into law. Donald Trump has also used an autopen but claims it was only for 'very unimportant papers.' This action follows previous claims by Donald Trump regarding Joe Biden's mental capability and an earlier investigation into Joe Biden's autopen use.
