Trump's first executive order aims to scrap Obamacare

In his first executive order, Donald Trump - the 45th president of the United States - told government agencies to scale back aspects of the Affordable Care Act - fulfilling his pledge to undo Barack Obama's signature healthcare law, Al Jazeera reports.

The one-page order directs federal agencies to limit the "economic and regulatory burden" of the Affordable Care Act, as a prelude to a full repeal.
