Joe Biden is set to be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States of America after defeating Donald Trump in the November 6 presidential election.

The Democrat in a statement released on Wednesday said he would sign 15 orders after he is sworn in. The orders are:

“Reverse Mr Donald Trump’s withdrawal of the US from the Paris climate accord;”

“Revoke the presidential permit granted to the Keystone XL Pipeline, which is opposed by environmentalists and Native American groups;”

“Revoke Trump policies on immigration enforcement and the emergency declaration that helped fund the construction of a Mexican border wall;”

“Bring about a mask and distancing mandate for federal employees and in federal buildings, and a new White House office on coronavirus;”

“End a travel ban on visitors from some, mainly Muslim nations;”

Other orders will cover race and gender equality, along with climate issues.

vice-president, Kamala Harris, will swear in three new Democratic senators on Wednesday, leaving the upper chamber of Congress evenly split between the two main parties. This will allow the vice-president to act as a tie-breaker in key votes.
