Although many agree with Biden’s executive actions and believe that they are intended for the greater good of our country, many believe it seems unjust that Biden signed these actions and quickly reversed much of Trump’s work over the past four years.
20, 2021, President Biden signed an executive action that revoked Trump’s order, putting a halt to the construction of the southern border wall.īiden has so far signed eight executive actions regarding immigration which undoes Trump’s initiatives on the matter during his presidency. This order issued a wall to be built along the Mexican-American border to stop immigration into the United States from that border.
25, 2017, President Trump issued executive order 13767, Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements. "The President-elect has promised to root out systemic racism from our institutions," said Susan Rice, his Domestic Policy Council director.President Biden signing an executive order Other actions by the new president will require a government-wide, proactive equality effort for minority groups, in hiring, contracting, and service. is going to take care of business at home." “Internationally, it’s an important way of making clear the U.S. brings forward a new, ambitious target under the Paris agreement," said David Waskow, director of the World Resources Institute’s international climate initiative. “Internationally there will be a expectation that the U.S. emissions-reductions targets and encouraging other countries to follow suit.
Now, the Biden administration can play a critical role setting more aggressive U.S. was a driving force behind the formation of the landmark Paris agreement. Under former President Barack Obama, the U.S. had pledged to curb greenhouse gas emissions by 26%-28% below 2005 levels by 2025. Under the Paris agreement, some 195 member countries set their own voluntary emissions-reduction targets, with the goal of keeping global temperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius compared with pre-industrial levels. "The day-one climate executive orders will begin to put the US back on the right footing, a footing we need to restore American leadership, helping to position our nation to be the global leader in clean energy and jobs," said McCarthy. Other actions Biden transition announced-īiden will reverse Trump decisions to ease emissions and efficiency standards, and rescind the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, a large project that would bring relatively high-polluting Canadian oil into the United States. Gina McCarthy, the new administration's chief climate advisor, said returning to the 2016 Paris accord was essential to making fighting climate change a central tenet of Biden administration policy. "America's withdrawal from the international arena has impeded progress on the global response and left us more vulnerable to future pandemics," he said. To underscore Biden's decision, Zients said, leading US coronavirus expert Anthony Fauci will lead a delegation to take part in the WHO Executive Board meeting on Thursday. That includes reversing Trump's decision to leave the World Health Organization. Wednesday "starts a new day, a new, different approach to managing the country's response to Covid-19 crisis," he said. Jeff Zients, the new president's point-man for fighting the pandemic, said Biden would start by establishing an office of Covid-19 response inside the White House.Ī 100-day "masking challenge" will be led with a presidential order for wearing masks in all federal properties and activities, setting the standard for private companies, individual states and communities to follow suit, Zients said.
Many of the actions will take government policies back to where they were on Janu- the final day of the Barack Obama-Joe Biden administration, before Trump entered office and took a wrecking ball to many of their initiatives. He also plans to send a bill to Congress to revamp immigration policies and give millions of undocumented migrants living in the country a path to citizenship that the Trump administration denied.īiden "will take action - not just to reverse the gravest damages of the Trump administration - but also to start moving our country forward," the aides said in a statement. He will also set a mask mandate on federal properties to stem the spread of Covid-19 restore protections of nature reserves removed by Trump and seek freezes on evictions and protection for millions behind on their mortgages due to the coronavirus pandemic.
