The future president of the United States, Joe Biden, wants to implement important political projects by decree the day he takes office next Wednesday. Biden will issue about a dozen of these executive orders from the start, his future chief of staff Ron Klain announced on Saturday. With this, Biden would also reverse a series of decisions made by his predecessor Donald Trump.
These included:
-
re-entry to the Paris Climate Agreement
-
the lifting of an entry ban for several Muslim states
-
After taking the oath, as part of efforts to combat the coronavirus, Biden will also mandate the obligation to wear a mask, initially for 100 days, for places where the federal government has the floor, for example, in government buildings.
-
The term for repayment of student loans should also be extended
Most of the measures do not require congressional approval.
By January 21, Klain promised a series of directives that should help combat the corona pandemic. On January 22, Biden will also instruct government authorities to take immediate steps to provide financial support to those particularly affected by the crisis. More measures will be followed before February 1 to change America’s course in the pandemic, fight climate change, promote equality among ethnic groups and rebuild the economy, Klain said.
Eliminate »serious damage«
The overview of the first ten days of Biden’s term should also show that with the future president of the United States, more predictability will carry over to the White House. Republican Trump had surprisingly often announced momentous decisions on Twitter.
Biden wasn’t just trying to eliminate the “gravest damage” caused by the Trump administration, Klain said. As the new president, he also wants to move the country forward.
Democrat Biden will be sworn in as the 46th president of the United States in front of the Capitol on Wednesday. Fearing renewed violence after the assault on the headquarters of Congress by pro-Trump militants on January 6, the ceremony will take place under significantly expanded security measures.
