The president of the USA, Joe biden, who will take office today to replace Donald trump, will include among its first government actions the return to World Health Organization (WHO) and the Paris agreement against climate change.
This is reflected in a statement released by Biden’s transition team in which it is specified that his Administration also will suspend the entry ban for residents of certain Muslim countries.
Economic aid to the neediest families and reinforcement of the fight against the coronavirus pandemic are also included in the long list of what will be the first actions of the Biden Government, aimed “not only at reversing the serious damage of the Trump Administration, but also to begin to advance the country ”.
Regarding the WHO, the new president wants to cooperate again with this body, which he considers “essential” to coordinate the international response to covid-19, and “make Americans and the world safer.”
Biden will restructure the Government to coordinate a unified national response to the pandemic and will sign an executive order that will create the position of the Covid-19 Response Coordinator, a senior official who will dispatch directly to the president.
In the field of environmental policy, the new head of the White House will sign today a document for the reincorporation of the United States to the Paris Agreement, as well as an executive order aimed at addressing climate change that promotes environmental justice.
Promoting equality, racial justice and the defense of minorities, as well as immediately putting a stop to the construction of the wall with Mexico are the objectives of other measures that, in the form of executive orders, guidelines, memoranda or letters, Biden will adopt once he takes office, in just a few hours.
The note from his transition team says these are initiatives aimed at fulfilling the promises Biden made to Americans in his election campaign.
