“Let's start over,” he said during his inaugural address.
It's a new day in America.

Joe Biden wants to reverse Trump policy - an overview of the most important measures of the first days
Paris Climate Agreement:
Under ex-President Donald Trump, the USA withdrew from the
Paris Climate Agreement
shortly after the US elections
.
By “executive oder” - a decree that does not require the approval of Congress - Biden reversed this in the first hours of his presidency.
thus the United States will rejoin the international agreement within 30 days.
World Health Organization (WHO):
Donald Trump
accused the
WHO of
serious omissions
in the wake of the corona pandemic
.
And announced that the country would be removed from the organization.
Biden revised that now.
And
Anthony Fauci
, the corona expert * who was almost shot by Trump, already attended a meeting and was appointed head of the WHO delegation of the USA by the 46th US President.
Building the Wall in Mexico:
It should be one of his big projects.
The construction of the wall between Mexico and the USA - with this Donald Trump already prominently denied his election campaign.
However, the controversial project had not really made any progress.
The new US president has now finished building the wall.
Entry
ban
for people from Muslim countries:
Donald Trump wanted to ban people from predominantly Muslim countries from entering the USA.
Much of this order did not go through in court.
But
Joe Biden
has
now completely dissolved
the so-called
"Muslim Ban"
.
Keystone gas pipeline:
The oil pipeline project was quite controversial, even if
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described
Biden's stop as a "disappointment".
Under Biden, the US should pursue climate-friendly policies.
A project close to the heart of its
Vice President Kamala Harris *
, who as a former senator of the forest-fire-ridden California
knows only too well
the
consequences of the climate crisis
.
Joe Biden
also started
*
immediately his fight against the
corona pandemic raging
in the
USA
.
And ordered a mask requirement in all federal authorities by “Executive Order”.
He also called on the people of the states to wear masks and keep their distance for 100 days.
Donald Trump had
increasingly ridiculed
wearing masks
during the
Corona crisis
and found it difficult for himself to use this simple means of fighting pandemic.
The ex-president is currently grappling with a variety of concerns.
Because his
political immunity
has ended since the change of power in the White House.
