U.S. President-elect Joe Biden will start “erasing Trump” from the first day of his inauguration on the 20th (local time). White House secretary chief Ron Klein said in a memo to high-ranking White House nominees, “The elected pledges to immediately respond to the crisis the country faces by mobilizing all means that can be promoted without parliamentary legislation, such as presidential executive orders, memorandums, and guidelines given to the cabinet. The New York Times (NYT) and others reported on the 16th. This means that from the day of the inauguration day, we will strive to break up with the Trump administration.

According to the memo, Klein’s secretary’s chief nominee pointed to Corona 19, economic recession, climate change, and racial inequality as four tasks that Biden-elect will address within 10 days of taking office. On the first day of his inauguration, Biden said he plans to sign about a dozen measures to respond to these challenges.

Specifically, in order to respond to Corona 19, it is planned to make it mandatory to wear a mask inside federal government facilities and expand diagnostic tests. It plans to expand measures to restrict eviction and seizure of tenants, repay school expenses and suspend interest payments to help workers who lost their jobs due to COVID-19.

As a first step toward responding to climate change, which President Trump neglected, he will rejoin the Paris Climate Change Convention on the first day of his inauguration. It also decided to lift the ban on entry that was applied to some Islamic countries.

In addition, it plans to announce one or two policies every day for ten days, such as reforming the criminal justice system, expanding access to medical services for the underprivileged, such as low-income and people of color, and improving immigration and border policies. However, the Trump administration’s’by-America’ policy is strengthened to encourage the purchase of US-made products.

Amendments to the immigration law, which will rescue 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, are also scheduled to be sent to Congress within 100 days of taking office.

The reason why Biden-elect even presented a schedule and foretold the pace of state affairs was due to unstable public sentiment. With a weekly mob intrusion into Congress and the second impeachment of President Trump, the conflict and division in the United States grew, and as soon as he took office as the elect, he felt the burden of showing the changes in the United States.

In a memo, Klein’s chief secretary’s nominee also announced in the memo that “We will show that the United States is back and that we will take steps to restore America’s position in the world.” However, foreign policy was not specifically mentioned on the day. Nevertheless, Washington diplomats agree that the “return of the United States” prepared by the Biden administration is a plan to abolish the US priority that President Trump has promoted over the past four years and return to the multilateral diplomatic arena to strengthen US leadership and restore the alliance. It is an evaluation.

The return of the Iran Nuclear Agreement (JCPOA, Comprehensive Joint Action Plan), which was concluded by the Barack Obama administration and the Trump administration withdrew, is also expected to begin at the beginning of the inauguration. Among the Trump administration’s policies, there is a prospect that there may be a change in the tariff war with high tariffs as a weapon while the hard line against China continues.
