Shortly after taking office on Wednesday, US President Joe Biden signed a series of executive actions to reverse the policies of Donald Trump administration on immigration, climate change, racial equity and the handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Six of Biden's 17 orders, memorandums and proclamations deal with immigration.
President Biden has signed an executive order ending the restrictions on travel and immigration from some predominantly Muslim countries. Biden has said that the USA will rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. Trump had earlier said the USA will not be part of it. Biden has ordered federal agencies to prioritise racial equity and review policies that reinforce systemic racism. He has even halted work on a border wall with Mexico. Biden has also imposed strict rules to contain the spread of COVID-19.
