"The president will usher a Golden Age for America by reforming and improving the government bureaucracy to work for the American people," the White House said.
"He will freeze bureaucrat hiring except in essential areas to end the onslaught of useless and overpaid DEI activists buried into the federal workforce," stated the White House memorandum.
"The White House said it is implementing the freeze as part of the president's 'drain the swamp' agenda," indicating a focus on reducing federal workforce.
Trump's first administration instituted a 79-day hiring freeze, impacting agency operations long after its conclusion, with leaders acknowledging the need to rebuild their workforce.
