The president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, wants to reverse several political decisions made by Donald Trump on the first day of his term. “We have a lot to do on day one,” Biden’s chief of staff, Ronald Klain, said on NBC on Sunday. Among other things, it is planned to rejoin the Paris climate agreement.
The protection of young migrants called “Dreamer” will be improved immediately and measures must be taken to improve health protection. Biden can initiate the steps after taking office on January 20 as presidential decrees.
Trump had abandoned, with a loud roar, the Paris climate accord. He also tried to abolish the program that protects “Dreamer” immigrants who came to the United States illegally with their parents as children from deportation.
Klain also emphasized that Biden is already preparing measures against the corona pandemic for his term and is consulting with scientists, among others. However, his options for action are still limited: “He is not the president.” There is not much that Biden can do at this time other than ask the Trump administration and local authorities to act. “That will change on January 20. But now we are in a crisis that is getting worse.”
Renowned American immunologist and corona expert Anthony Fauci said the Trump administration’s refusal to acknowledge Biden’s election victory also hampered future activities in the fight against the pandemic. The GSA agency is not yet giving the green light to Biden’s transition team to work with government agencies. For the ongoing work of the coronavirus task force at the White House, it would be better if it could already work with Biden’s experts, Fauci said on the CNN news channel. Trump has not attended task force meetings for months, Fauci said, but added that Vice President Mike Pence was briefing the president.
On Trump’s claims on Twitter that Biden only won through election manipulation, Klain responded with a demonstrative shrug. “It is not Donald Trump’s Twitter account that made Joe Biden president. The American people did that,” Klain said.
