US President Joe Biden signed a number of executive orders, including the Paris Climate Agreement, rejoining the World Health Organization (WHO) and lifting travel bans from Muslim-majority countries shortly after he was sworn in on Wednesday. The purpose of an executive order is to ensure racial equality. Another executive order bans masks on federal property. According to the French news agency AFP and CNN, Joe Biden signed 15 executive and 2 agency articles on Wednesday. Their goal is to reverse the decisions of former President Donald Trump and set the new administration’s clear policy just hours after Biden was sworn in. These executive orders include halting the construction of a wall on the US-Mexico border, efforts by the federal government to increase diversity and equality for minority groups, including the United States in the World Health Organization, increasing environmental protection, and fighting the corona virus.

“Everything we’re going to do is going to be fearless,” Biden told reporters in the Oval Office. We will fight climate change in a way that has not been done before. “Our efforts to eradicate the Corona epidemic will help change the course of this crisis,” he said. According to Arab News, the controversial visa ban on immigrants from Muslim countries was imposed by Donald Trump a week after he came to power, after which the process was widely condemned and protested. A US court has rejected the first version of a ban imposed by President Trump and upheld a third version, which upheld visa bans on Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. President Trump has claimed that the ban was not imposed on Muslims but was intended to make the United States safer and freer. In 2020, the ban was extended and six Muslim countries, including Sudan and Nigeria, were permanently banned from immigrating.

It is to be noted that Trump had said in his election campaign that the entry of Muslims in the United States will be completely banned until the representatives of the country know what is happening. The president-elect also plans to send a bill to Congress calling for immigration policy reform to grant citizenship to millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States. Earlier, an adviser to Joe Biden said in a statement that Joe Biden would take action, not only against the damage done by Trump, but also to move our country forward. It should be noted that Donald Trump has left the White House after completing his presidency. In a farewell video message before leaving, Donald Trump praised the achievements of his administration and wished the new administration well.
