President Biden has signed more than two dozen executive orders over his first few weeks in office. Many have simply been the reversal of executive orders from the former administration, such as ending the travel ban from Muslim majority countries.

London (CNN Business)The list of carmakers that might partner with Apple is shrinking. Hyundai and Kia killed off talk of a potential iCar deal on Monday, saying they were "not having talks" with the tech giant about developing autonomous electric vehicles. Apple declined to comment. It's not clear how far along the company is in developing plans for any potential car, but it has been granted patents for a range of vehicle inventions. "Project Titan," its reportedly secretive effort to break into the auto business, has been a frequent source of rumors over the years.
