“Everything will be revealed,” Trump told reporters on Thursday at the White House.
Other executive orders signed included creating a cryptocurrency working group to study the need for a national digital asset stockpile, in addition to pardoning anti-abortion protesters.
Earlier Thursday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) criticized former President Joe Biden’s administration for prosecuting pro-abortion demonstrators during a floor speech in his chamber.
In a question-and-answer session with reporters, Trump expressed his desire to speak with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell concerning interest rates, with the central bank traditionally being an independent agency.
The president also announced his administration’s desire to appeal a federal court decision on Thursday that temporarily blocked his executive order redefining birthright citizenship. U.S. District Judge John Coughenou called the order “blatantly unconstitutional.”
Trump, too, told reporters that he wants to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin and that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has conveyed his desire to broker a peace deal after three years of war.

On Thursday morning, Trump addressed the World Economic Forum, which has convened in Davos, Switzerland, remotely. In his remarks, the president told the crowd he intends to ask Saudi Arabia and OPEC “to bring down the cost of oil.”
“With oil prices going down, I’ll demand that interest rates drop immediately,” he said. “Likewise, they should be dropping all over the world. Interest rates should follow us.”
