Proclamation: Restoring American Commercial Fishing in the Pacific
Summary
This proclamation reverses prior national monument fishing bans in the Pacific by reopening hundreds of thousands of square miles of waters in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, Mariana Trench Marine National Monument, and Rose Atoll Marine National Monument to commercial fishing. It directs the Secretary of Commerce to amend or repeal inconsistent regulations, allows only US-flagged vessels to fish commercially (with limited permits for foreign transport vessels), and reaffirms that all fishing remains subject to existing federal conservation laws such as the Magnuson-Stevens Act, Endangered Species Act, and Marine Mammal Protection Act.

Delivering Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations for Americans
This executive order directs HHS to establish a 'Gold Standard' childhood vaccine schedule with fewer recommended vaccines than current CDC guidelines, mandates that MMR be administered as three separate single-disease shots when domestically available, and instructs the DOJ to challenge state vaccine mandates that do not provide religious or medical exemptions. It also orders HHS to develop alternative adjuvants to aluminum and improve vaccine safety monitoring, while preserving access to existing vaccines.
Continuing to Protect the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship
This executive order directs federal agencies, including State, Justice, Homeland Security, and Social Security, to deny U.S. citizenship documentation to children born in the U.S. whose parents include alien enemies, foreign government employees, or those involved in commercial birth tourism or surrogacy, or who are born in territories without statutory citizenship. It implements a narrow interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment following the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. Barbara, effectively restricting birthright citizenship for specific categories of non-citizen parents.
