Now that Joe Biden is President of the United States, the work is underway. CNN reports the initial actions of Biden’s term will be 17 executive actions during his first hours in office.
Those actions include the stopping of the construction of Trump’s border wall, reversing the Muslim country travel, rejoining the Paris climate accord, and halting the United States from leaving the World Health Organization.
