President Donald Trump plans to issue an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education.

According to "The Wall Street Journal", this document instructs Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to take all necessary steps to close the department, to the maximum extent allowed by law.

According to information obtained by "The Wall Street Journal," the order could be issued as early as Thursday.

This decision is part of the Trump administration's broader strategy to reduce the federal government's role in education. Implementing this order may spark controversy and discussions about the future of the U.S. education system.

The planned actions of President Trump are consistent with his previous announcements about reducing bureaucracy and giving more power to the states, note journalists.

"The Wall Street Journal" emphasizes that this decision could have far-reaching consequences for the American education system, affecting how schools are managed and the allocation of funds.

Donald Trump plans a new ban. Reuters reveals details

President Donald Trump is preparing a travel ban that could affect citizens of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The new regulations result from the American government's review of security procedures and control mechanisms for people arriving in the U.S.

The new ban could affect tens of thousands of Afghans waiting to relocate to the U.S. as refugees or holders of special immigrant visas. These are primarily individuals threatened by Taliban reprisals who collaborated with Americans during the 20-year war in Afghanistan.

President Trump already signed an executive order on January 20 mandating tighter security controls for foreigners entering the U.S.
