American media reported that President-elect Joe Biden will issue a number of executive orders, including lifting the ban on entry for citizens of some Muslim-majority countries, as soon as he takes office on the 20th of this month.
A memo circulated by the American media about Ron Klein, the candidate for the White House chief of staff in the Biden administration, stated that the executive orders include lifting the ban imposed by current President Donald Trump on citizens of Muslim-majority countries entering the United States, and returning to the Paris climate agreement that was the administration. Trump withdrew from it.
The orders also include extending the grace period for student loans, imposing wearing masks in federal buildings and when traveling between states, in addition to preventing the eviction of renters who are unable to pay rent.
The New York Times said that Biden advisers hope that these decrees, to be issued within the first 10 days, without waiting for Congress, will create a sense of momentum for the new era even if the Senate is busy trying Trump.
Biden has introduced members of the science team to his next administration, and confirmed at a press conference held Saturday in Wilmington, Delaware, that he would attach great importance to science in his administration.
Biden said he would ask his science team to make sure to respond to 5 imperatives;
It is the Corona pandemic, building the economy, confronting the climate crisis, leading the United States in technology, and ensuring sustainable confidence in science.
Days before his inauguration, the president-elect said that his administration could make great progress over the next five years, beyond what has been accomplished during the past years.
He added in statements that the administration will discuss how to use science to win climate challenges and create more jobs, adding that faith in science will allow the development of many treatments.
Biden has finished today forming his diplomatic team that embodies his desire to break with the current administration of President Donald Trump and correct the course of his country's foreign policy.
Today he appointed veteran diplomat Wendy Sherman to the position of Deputy Secretary of State.
Sherman had led the US delegation negotiating the nuclear deal with Iran during the administration of former US President Barack Obama.
Biden also announced the nomination of Victoria Nuland for the position of Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, and Nuland served as Assistant Secretary of State for Eurasian Affairs in the Obama administration.
In late November, the President-elect announced the selection of Anthony Blinken, who had worked in the Obama administration, as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
And Washington and other states are experiencing unprecedented security measures in preparation for Biden's inauguration next Wednesday, amid fears of a repeat of the events of President Trump's storming of Congress about 10 days ago.
And the US Department of Defense (the Pentagon) announced that it had approved the deployment of 25,000 soldiers to secure the inauguration ceremony, as well as the deployment of National Guard personnel in all states and the capital, Washington, while a spokesman for the Island National Guard said that 9,500 members of this device have so far been deployed in the capital.
The FBI has warned of possible explosive devices during the demonstrations related to Biden's inauguration.
The warning comes at a time when US security agencies are trying to monitor any signs of extremist right-wing groups preparing for attacks during the inauguration ceremony.
