Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation
On January 28, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order titled "Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation." The order prohibits federal funding and support for medical procedures that attempt to change a child's sex, including the use of puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and surgeries. It directs federal agencies to rescind policies based on guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, which the order claims lacks scientific integrity. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is tasked with reviewing literature on best practices for treating children with gender dysphoria and improving data quality. Additionally, the order mandates that TRICARE and federal health insurance plans exclude coverage for such procedures and instructs the Department of Justice to enforce laws against female genital mutilation and investigate deceptive practices related to these medical interventions.

Reinstating Service Members Discharged Under the Military’s COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate
On January 27, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an order to reinstate service members who were discharged solely for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.

It also permits service members who voluntarily left the military to avoid the vaccine mandate to return without any impact on their service status. This action aims to address what the order describes as an unfair and unnecessary burden imposed by the previous vaccine mandate. The order requires a progress report within 60 days to ensure its implementation.

Withdrawing The United States From The World Health Organization
On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an order to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO).
