“There is nothing like today to begin with. I will start by keeping the promises I made to the American people,” Biden told the CNN station in the Oval Office of the White House before writing the 17 editions and memos, which eliminate the measures. more controversial of predecessor Donald Trump.
Press secretary Jen Psaki said this was just one part of Biden’s moves in the first few weeks.
One topic per day
With the new power over the pen, Biden’s first step was to force the mask on federal agencies in the United States and on all federal employees, an approach contrary to the policy of responding to the pandemic. Trump’s COVID-19. Biden also appointed a coordinator to oversee the White House’s efforts to distribute vaccines and medical supplies, and expand financial support.
The requirement to wear a mask will not have a major impact as many federal agencies have closed or implemented anti-epidemic measures, but it clearly demonstrates the new administration’s anti-epidemic determination. According to observers, the first period of Biden’s term will be determined by the COVID-19 anti-epidemic plan, which has killed more than 400,000 Americans and caused an economic crisis. AFP said that Biden plans to announce the plan against the epidemic on January 20 local time.

Next week’s topics will be “Buy America,” with decrees that increase the requirements for government purchases of goods and services from US companies. In February 2021, Biden will focus on “restoring America’s position in the world.”
Just the easy part
Contrary to the message calling for unity and harmony, Biden’s actions on the first day of the inauguration showed neither commitment nor cooperation, but rather a determination to quickly erase Trump’s legacy.
However, passing the immigration law is not expected to be easy, and Biden’s plan could face Republican opposition, with MPs like Marco Rubio and Chris Hartline speaking out only citing a “short amnesty” for illegal immigrants.
Although Democrats have a majority in the House of Representatives, the balance of the Senate with Vice President Kamala Harris is decisive, reforming the US immigration system will require a consensus in both parties.
According to analysts, Trump has signed many decrees and their removal is not easy. Signing reverse decrees is considered an easy part, but to bring about lasting change, Mr. Biden has to work with Congress to pass issues like pandemic relief, immigration, and reform. Immigration team …
“With Democracy in control of the Senate and House of Representatives, Mr. Biden has the opportunity to get the job done, although he will have to overcome the obstacles of the Republican Party and keep his party. The president will be helpful,” he added. said BBC writer Anthony Zucher.
