While some of the orders roll back unilateral measures Trump imposed, others – including an extension of moratoriums on student loan payments, foreclosures and evictions – are intended to address the health and economic crisis wrought by the pandemic.
President-elect Joe Biden plans to begin immediately unwinding President Donald Trump’s policies on immigration, climate and other issues on Wednesday, Jan 20, with at least 15 executive actions, including moves to reverse U.S. withdrawals from the Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization, and stop construction of a border wall.
Biden will also sign orders revoking a permit for the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, imposing a mask mandate on federal property to combat the coronavirus pandemic and ending Trump’s travel ban against some predominantly Muslim and African countries.
