The White House has outlined what it describes as historic achievements by US President Donald Trump’s administration through executive action alone.

In a statement, the administration said that it had achieved the results in 21 months, relying on presidential executive authority to advance Trump’s policy agenda.

“The promise of America has been quickly reignited under the President’s common-sense leadership, making America the hottest nation in the world and reviving the American Dream. Crime has plummeted, merit is restored, burdensome red tape is gone, and American energy is unleashed.”

The White House described the period as a revival of the American Dream, arguing that the administration had strengthened national security, restored merit-based practices, reduced government bureaucracy and expanded domestic energy production.

According to the statement, Trump signed 147 executive orders during his first 100 days in office, which it described as more than any previous president had issued within that period. It added that he had signed more than 290 executive orders since January 2025.

The administration stated that the measures were intended to deliver a more prosperous and secure United States, adding that Trump would continue using executive authority to pursue his campaign promises.

Border Security And Crime Reduction

Border security and immigration enforcement featured prominently in the administration’s account of its achievements.

The White House stated that the government had delivered what it described as the most secure border in US history through a crackdown on illegal immigration. It also claimed that the country had recorded negative net migration for the first time in more than half a century.

The statement said that the administration had ended access to several government benefits for undocumented immigrants, including public housing assistance, food stamps and small business loans.

It also mentioned stricter enforcement of the H-1B visa programme, arguing that the measures would protect American workers and prevent visa abuse.

On public safety, the White House claimed that the administration had removed dangerous offenders from American communities and deported millions of undocumented immigrants with criminal records.

It further credited its policies with what it described as the largest annual decline in violent crime in American history in 2025, adding that preliminary figures for 2026 showed further reductions.

According to the statement, murders declined by more than 18 per cent in 2025, reaching what the administration described as the lowest rate ever recorded. Robberies also fell by more than 18 per cent, while property crimes, rape and aggravated assault reportedly declined.

The White House also said federal law enforcement agencies had captured all 10 fugitives on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list, claiming that the number was 2.5 times the total recorded during the preceding four-year administration. It added that authorities had apprehended six individuals on the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters list.

$260 Billion In Fraud Identified

The statement also noted efforts to combat fraud, waste and corruption across federal government programmes.

The White House said that the administration had uncovered more than $260 billion in fraudulent taxpayer spending and prevented an estimated $72 billion in annual losses.

It said the government had disrupted large-scale fraud schemes, identified high-risk payment patterns and shut down providers and retailers suspected of fraudulent activity.

The administration added that its measures were designed to prevent improper payments before funds were disbursed and restore public confidence in federal programmes intended to support Americans in need.

Trump Administration Defends Changes To DEI Policies

The White House also presented its actions against diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies as a major achievement, saying the administration had ended what it described as discriminatory practices across government, education and the private sector.

It said that the measures were intended to restore equal treatment and opportunity under the law by eliminating race-based policies and practices.

The administration also cited changes to higher education, including efforts to end race-conscious admissions and employment practices, DEI programmes and what it described as antisemitism on university campuses.

According to the statement, the government had secured settlements worth hundreds of millions of dollars with several prominent universities over their DEI practices. The institutions named included Columbia, Brown, Cornell, the University of Virginia, Northwestern University and the University of North Carolina.

The White House further claimed that the administration had reached agreements with six major hospital systems to end medical procedures it described as the mutilation of minors in connection with transgender healthcare.

Energy Expansion And Deregulation Feature In Claims

Energy policy was another central component of the administration’s account, with the White House claiming that Trump had spearheaded a nuclear energy revival while strengthening the country’s position as a leading global oil producer and exporter.

The administration said that it had reformed and accelerated the nuclear regulatory process through executive orders intended to reduce delays in licensing and reactor development.

It claimed that four new advanced reactors had reached criticality by July 4, 2026, bringing the total number of reactors to five under the president’s executive actions.

The statement also reported that federal authorities had completed more than 700 nuclear energy licensing actions, which it said would support the delivery of tens of thousands of megawatts of electricity.

In the oil sector, the White House referred to what it described as the largest oil deal in world history, saying the agreement would help secure America’s long-term energy future. However, it did not identify the deal or provide details of its value and terms.

The administration also stressed its deregulation programme, claiming that it had eliminated more than 400 regulations and saved a family of four over $17,500 in one year. It estimated the total savings at $1.5 trillion, describing the programme as the first in American history to reduce the regulatory burden on the public.

The White House concluded with a message of continuation, “With more than two years to go, President Trump will not hesitate to use the power and authority of the Executive Branch to deliver historic victories for the American people.
