One of them revokes a travel ban from Muslim countries to the United States
These are Biden's first decisions .. He will sign them on the day of the inauguration
The next White House chief of staff, Ron Klein, revealed the first decisions of US President-elect Joe Biden that he would sign immediately after his inauguration next Wednesday.
Klein said, in a press statement, that "Biden will culminate in the inauguration day, which is full of using his new powers to make policy changes with a set of executive decisions, one of which is to cancel a ban on travel from Muslim countries to the United States."
In a memo distributed to reporters on Saturday, Klein added that Biden will disclose on Wednesday "about 12" executive orders that he had previously promised to issue, explaining that they relate to housing, student loans, climate change and immigration.
Biden had made his election campaign promises to return to the policies of outgoing President Donald Trump even before the spread of the new Corona virus.
The decisions to be issued on Wednesday also include rejoining the Paris climate accords, extending the deadline for repayment of federal school loans, stopping evictions from homes and foreclosing on real estate subject to mortgage, as well as imposing the wearing of masks when traveling between states and in federal buildings.
All these measures were previously announced.
Most of the decisions represent a reversal of policies pursued by Trump and do not require presentation to Congress.
However, Biden will unveil an immigration proposal that would allow millions of unregistered immigrants to obtain citizenship, although this proposal requires congressional approval.
He will sign the return of the United States to the Paris climate agreement, and the abolition of travel bans with many Muslim countries.
He continued, "Biden will issue instructions allowing the reunification of children who have been separated from their families at the border with Mexico, and he will sign the mandatory wearing of the muzzle in federal institutions and on interstate transportation."
