Trump prepares executive orders on China, immigration and prescription drugs


President Trump is preparing to sign executive orders on a wide range of issues, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said Monday.

Meadows said in a Fox News interview that the orders will address China, immigration, manufacturing jobs and the cost of prescription drugs.

“This president will do more in the next four weeks than Joe Biden and his team have done in the past 40 years,” said Meadows.

But the chief of staff gave few details during the interview or a subsequent discussion with reporters at the White House entrance.

Meadows, a former congressman from North Carolina, said the executive orders are necessary because Congress left the city for the July 4 holiday and will not be returning anytime soon.

“They’re disappearing for almost three weeks, I don’t know what in this particular environment you can wait and say, ‘We can take a three-week vacation,'” Meadows said.

“Most Americans don’t understand that, and for us, this is a series of executive orders that can range from some of the immigration problems before us, to some of the manufacturing and employment problems. that we have before us, and ultimately deal with China and what we have to do there in terms of restoring that balance. “

Meadows said it “would let the executive orders speak for themselves.”
