On the first day of President Biden’s inauguration, the White House posted on the homepage of the White House seven ‘current state tasks for the Biden-Harris administration.

We emphasized the prompt and proactive response to the extent that we removed only the most urgent task, Corona 19, and mentioned countermeasures separately on other pages.

We promised to expand COVID-19 testing, normalize schools and businesses, and get effective and equitable vaccinations.

There is also a plan to establish a clear and consistent distancing policy based on science and to disclose clinical data for FDA-approved vaccines to the public.

Also noticeable is the policy to immediately restore relations with the World Health Organization to predict and prevent infectious disease threats, including threats from China.

Second, it emphasized rapid action on climate change and a green energy revolution.

In the case of racial equity, the task was to reform criminal justice and end discrimination in medical access and education.

In the economic field, it suggested addressing economic inequality, providing remedies for Corona 19, and creating jobs by strengthening SMEs.

In the health sector, we promised to expand access to quality and affordable medical services and establish health insurance reform laws.

The White House also said it would welcome immigrants and create a fair and orderly immigration system to help them further contribute to the United States, saying it will reform the immigration system that has long been poorly functioning.

Lastly, the goal of rebuilding the world’s democratic alliance and restoring the position of the United States in the international community by advocating for the values ​​and human rights of the United States was also one of the initial priorities.
