(FILES) US President Donald Trump signs executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on January 20, 2025. In his near-100 days in power, President Donald Trump has signed a staggering number of executive orders -- an unprecedented 130 -- that topple many cornerstones of US policy. Straight after his January 20 inauguration, the Republican leader revoked 67 executive orders issued under his predecessor Joe Biden. Since then, he has signed edicts aimed at dismantling federal programs -- nearly half his orders go toward that, according to an AFP tally. (Photo by Jim WATSON / AFP)
