Amid the head-spinning flurry of "Day 1" executive orders that stretched presidential power to new (and potentially illegal) heights, President Donald Trump attempted to leave his mark on the globe.

Doing so, Trump wrote in the order, would reflect the gulf's status as a "flourishing economic resource and its critical importance" to America's economy and people.
