United States President, Joe Biden started his first day in
office by erasing some actions of former President Donald Trump.
In his first executive orders, Biden reversed Trump’s
policies on the coronavirus pandemic, immigration, and climate change.
Biden canceled the ban which restricted travel to the U.S.
from mostly Muslim nations.
The countries are Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen,
Chad, North Korea, Venezuela, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan, and
Tanzania.
At the Oval Office’s Resolute Desk, Biden rolled out 15
orders and two other action items.
Biden has made mask wearing in all federal buildings and
during interstate travel mandatory.
“It’s requiring, as I said all along, where I have
authority, mandating masks be worn, social distancing be kept on federal
property,” the President told reporters.
He also signed orders for America to formally rejoin the
World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Paris climate agreement.
Biden is stopping Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s
actions that cause family separation.
He has halted construction of the wall along the US-Mexico
border.
Two orders aim to provide immediate financial relief to the
millions of Americans who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic.
Biden signed another three to address racial disparities and
inequities within the U.S. government and its operations.
He inked a decree directing the federal bureaucracy to
conduct reviews and isolate any racial inequities in how government resources
are allocated.
This dissolves the 1776 Commission, a Trump advisory
committee established last September.
Another order borders on federal workplace sex
discrimination protections to LGBTQ Americans.
The administration will roll out a total of 53 executive
actions over the next 10 days.
