By Nikhila Natarajan New York, Jan 19 : Day One of Joe Biden’s presidency will kick off with a rash of executive orders. Covid-19 will overshadow everything else for the first 100 days but subsumed within will be efforts to push forward quick fixes on immigration, healthcare and a battered economy.
First up, on January 20, Biden will sign “roughly a dozen actions” to combat four crises, according to his Chief of Staff Ron Klain. Based on Biden’s statements in recent days and a memo from Klain, here’s what the early days will look like, mostly via executive action.
– Rejoining the Paris climate accord.
– Rejoining the World Health Organisation.
– Asking the Department of Education to extend the ongoing pause on student loan payments and interest for millions of Americans with federal student loans.
– Declaring ethical standards and prohibiting interference in Justice Department operations from other arms of government.
