3 paragraphs into this report, the writer completes his headlines statement that president Obama "will sign an executive order", with "so predicts Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson,".
The chances are there, but I think this article is a fluff piece. It refers to a NY Times article from August 2016, and a Washington Times article from March 2016. Both articles couldn't create any more interest than that of speculation. Without further evidence of solid policy movements, I categorize this article as heavy speculation.
