It also states that the order should be implemented according to existing laws and budgets, and it does not create any new legal rights for any party.

    Simple Explanation

    The President has canceled two old rules about COVID-19 safety for people working for the government and getting vaccinated, but the new rule doesn't say why and doesn't change any other existing rules or give anyone new rights.

    The memorandum from January 8, 2021, outlines the order of succession for the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) position at the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC). If the CEO becomes unable to fulfill their duties, the Deputy CEO, Chief Operating Officer, and other specified officials will assume the role, but only if they are not in an acting capacity and are permitted by law. The President retains the right to override this order if necessary. Additionally, the memorandum ensures that it doesn't grant any legal rights to challenge its decisions.

    Simple Explanation

    If the boss at a special government company called the DFC can't do their job, there's a plan for who takes over, like a list of backup leaders. But the President can still choose someone different if they want.

    The U.S. State Department has officially designated Yahya al-Sayyid Ibrahim Musa and Alaa Ali Ali Mohammed Al-Samahi as Specially Designated Global Terrorists. This decision was made under the authority of several Executive Orders aimed at targeting individuals associated with terrorism. Both individuals are recognized as leaders of Harakat Sawa'd Misr, a group whose assets have been previously blocked by the Secretary of State. The designation means their assets in the United States are frozen, but no prior notice of this action was given to them, as it was determined that such a notice could compromise the effectiveness of the restrictions.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. State Department has labeled two people, Yahya and Alaa, as bad guys who are not allowed to have their money in America because they are accused of leading a group that does harmful things. They didn't tell these people ahead of time because it might have messed up the plan to stop them.

    Simple Explanation

    President Biden issued a rule that changes what was said before about Syria, especially about what Turkey was doing there, and it makes sure nobody gets any special legal rights from this change.
