President Biden has signed an executive order on issues including suspension of travel bans from the majority of Muslim countries and issues relating to Covid-19, climate change and the construction of walls between the US and Mexico. .
Biden will not only take action to reverse the most serious damages of the Trump administration, but also begin to move our country forward, according to a statement from the White House.
The president has signed many orders around the virus, forcing federal buildings to social distancing and wear masks.
Biden also revoked the permission of the Keystone XL Pipeline and asked executives to review all policies “not supported by the best science available” that are causing damage to the environment (or are) unsupported by the best science available.”
Commenting on the order Biden quickly signed, Wade Henderson, interim president and CEO of the Citizens and Human Rights Leadership Council, said: .

Trump was the first US president to not attend the event and since 1869 he would not attend the inauguration of his successor.
