Ron Klain, Biden’s chief of staff.
Biden will be sworn in as the next president of the United States on Wednesday (20). Sources said Biden has prepared an executive order to be issued immediately after his inauguration, which includes rejoining the Paris climate agreement and repealing President Trump‘s travel ban on certain Muslim countries.
Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain, laid out in a memo Saturday a list of executive orders for the chief executive to issue as soon as the new president takes office and a new administration is formed on Jan. 20, NPR reported Jan. 16.
According to the memo, Biden, upon assuming the presidency, will promptly sign an order requiring the United States to rejoin the Paris climate agreement. This is an international agreement signed by the Obama administration earlier in the year, but President Trump believes that the provisions in this agreement are very unfair to the United States and has therefore announced his withdrawal from the agreement.
The memo also shows that Biden will also sign an order overturning Trump’s travel ban imposed on certain Muslim countries.
In late June 2017, Trump signed a temporary travel ban against six Muslim countries – Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen – to give the U.S. government time to confirm the identities of people in those countries who applied for U.S. visas, and also to temporarily ban refugees from those six countries from entering the United States to prevent members of extremist groups from infiltrating and posing a danger to the United States and its people.
In the memo, Klein said Biden will also sign an order requiring the wearing of masks in public and when traveling interstate to help slow the spread of the Communist pneumonia pandemic. Later, Biden will sign additional executive orders related to CCP virus testing and other measures.
