President Trump is planning to sign executive orders this week on energy and the environment, Reuters reported Sunday, citing a White House official.

"This builds on previous executive actions that have cleared the way for job-creating pipelines, innovations in energy production and reduced unnecessary burden on energy producers," the official told Reuters.

Axios said Sunday that by the end of the week, Trump will have signed at least 32 executive orders — the most in the first 100 days of an administration since World War II.

A White House source previewed the actions expected to come from Trump this week, including:

an order "Improving Accountability and Whistleblower Protections at the Department of Veterans Affairs"

review of Designations under the Antiquities Act

an order implementing an "America-First Offshore Energy Strategy"

and an order "Promoting Agriculture and Rural Prosperity in America."

The president is expected to sign on Wednesday an order regarding the 1906 Antiquities Act, which gives presidents the ability to make areas of land and water federal and to designate them as national monuments, Reuters added.
