Biden inauguration: Executive orders to reverse Trump policies

 The details come as a result of a series of high-level orders organized by US President-elect Joe Biden shortly after he takes office this week.


Mr Biden will issue resolutions to postpone President Trump's travel ban and re-join the Paris climate agreement on his first day, American media reported.


The president-elect is also expected to focus on reuniting families separated by the US-Mexico border, and to issue a mandate on Covid-19 and to wear a mask.


He will be ordained on Wednesday.


All 50 U.S. states have warned of possible violence ahead of the inauguration ceremony, with National Guard troops deployed on thousands to monitor Washington DC.


What policy changes will Mr Biden impose?

A few hours after Mr. Biden's entry into the White House, he will begin with a series of actions designed to signal a clean break from the previous administration, according to a memorial seen by US media.


Among the orders placed immediately after entering office are:


America's return to the Paris climate agreement - a global agreement to determine carbon emissions

The controversial travel ban is being lifted in many Muslim countries

Ordering the wearing of masks on state property and when traveling abroad

Extension of borders across the country from removal and exposure due to epidemics

High orders are part of his plan for prominence in his first ten days in office, according to the memorandum.


The president-elect is also expected to submit a new immigration bill to Congress, and is focused on passing a $ 1.9tn (£ 1.4tn) stimulus plan to help the country's economy recover from the coronavirus.



The US Capitol is very cautious ahead of Biden's inauguration

Mr Biden also said his superiors would aim to bring in 100 million Covid-19 jabs in his first 100 days in office - describing his release so far as "a failure".


"President-elect Biden will take action - not only to reverse the massive damage caused by Trump - but also to begin to move our country forward," White House Labor Manager Ron Klain wrote in the memo.


What challenges does Biden face?

President-elect takes the country through an unprecedented epidemic. Daily deaths from Covid-19 are still in their thousands and nearly 400,000 have lost their lives.


Despite the virus, the country is plagued by recent political violence.


Mr Biden's inaugural theme will be "America United", in which the president was elected with a view to ending political divisions. Deputy President Mike Pence is expected to attend the event, though Mr Trump has said he will not.


Mr Biden will be sworn in exactly two weeks after a series of violent riots at the US Capitol on January 6 aimed at disrupting his election victory.

Even with the opening levels, security presence in Washington DC for Wednesday's ceremony is astonishing.


Police explain 'medieval warfare'

Trump fired for 'promoting' US Capitol violence

All 50 U.S. states have warned of armed protests

Miles of roads are barricaded with concrete barriers and metal fences, and more than 20,000 National Guard Guards are expected to be deployed. The FBI has warned of possible violence and armed marches organized by Trump supporters.


Tough security measures follow a week when Donald Trump becomes the first US president to be forced twice. Mr Trump will now face a Senate charge of "incitement" to violence by the American Capitol.


The first Senate hearing will be held on Tuesday - the day before he left office - but the timing of the trial is not yet clear.

Conflict of Republicans as Senate case approaches

There is a suggestion that the House of Representatives, which voted to file a lawsuit against Mr Trump last week, may delay submitting articles to the Senate to allow Mr Biden to continue his legal process and be allowed to pre-election his cabinet.


Democrats and Republicans are also reportedly discussing plans for a "double" agenda that would allow the Senate to split time between investigative cases and Biden's administrative business.


The 100-seat Senate is now tied between Republicans and Democrats. It takes a third of the time to find a charge - so 17 Republicans will need to vote for Mr. Trump to get rid of him.
