Trump to sign executive order to create an iron dome missile defense around the US

Trump to Sign Executive Orders Reversing Biden-Era Military Policies

President Donald Trump is expected to sign multiple executive orders Monday, rolling back Biden-era military policies on Covid-19 vaccination, transgender service members, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

According to NBC News, Trump will also direct the U.S. to develop its own version of Israel’s “Iron Dome” missile defense system as part of his latest national security push.

The executive actions are part of a sweeping policy shift as Trump rapidly reshapes the federal government in his first week back in the White House.

Key Orders Expected Monday

• Military Reinstatement for Unvaccinated Service Members
  • Trump will reinstate troops discharged for refusing the Covid-19 vaccine during the pandemic.
  • Those who return to service will receive full back pay and benefits.
• Rollback of Gender Inclusivity Policies
  • An order will revoke Biden’s 2021 protections for transgender service members, which had prohibited military discharges based on gender identity.
  • It will also ban the use of gender-neutral pronouns in the Defense Department.
  • The policy restricts males from accessing or sharing female-designated sleeping, changing, or bathing facilities.
• End of DEI Policies in Defense & Homeland Security
  • Trump will terminate all DEI-related programs in the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security.
  • He will order a review of race- and sex-based DEI policies to identify instances of discrimination.
  • U.S. service academies will be required to eliminate DEI and gender ideology-based curricula.

Trump’s National Security Focus

In addition to rolling back social policies, Trump is directing the U.S. military to develop its own missile defense system, modeled after Israel’s "Iron Dome."

This move reflects his broader emphasis on military readiness and national security as key priorities in his second term.

A Rapid Policy Shift

Trump’s latest executive orders continue a dramatic reversal of Biden administration policies, following his early actions on immigration, energy, and foreign relations.

With his administration moving quickly, more executive actions are expected in the coming days.
