A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade imposed a permanent injunction blocking Trump's 10 percent tariff on nearly all U.S. imports imposed in February 2025 as a replacement for tariffs the Supreme Court had struck down. The ruling invalidates the tariff policy and directly impacts American consumers and businesses by removing the broad import tax. This represents a significant legal defeat for the Trump administration's trade agenda after earlier Supreme Court losses.

On February 3, 2017, President Trump signed Memorandum 2017-02656 directing the Department of Labor to review the fiduciary duty rule requiring financial advisors to act in clients' best interests when managing retirement accounts. The memorandum instructed the Labor Department to examine the rule's impact on retirement savings and consider revising or rescinding it. The review process delayed enforcement of the rule and ultimately led to a revised fiduciary standard that narrowed the scope of who must comply with best-interest obligations when advising on retirement accounts.

On January 23, 2017, President Trump signed Memorandum 2017-01842 implementing a federal hiring freeze, halting new civilian federal employee hiring across executive branch agencies with limited exceptions for national security and public safety positions. The freeze immediately stopped agencies from filling vacant positions or creating new positions unless approved by the Office of Management and Budget. The direct impact was suspension of federal hiring across the government, affecting thousands of pending job offers and recruitment processes, while existing federal employees retained their positions.
