January 20, 2021 "There is no better time to start than today".
So Joe Biden, a few hours after being sworn in, began working - for the first time as president - in the Oval Office, where he signed a series of decrees including the re-entry of the US into the Paris climate agreement.
The new president therefore signed his first executive orders, targeting predecessor Donald Trump's policies on immigration, climate change, racial equality and the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden has in fact also signed the decree that provides for the obligation to wear masks in all federal buildings.
Masks that Trump and his staff hardly ever used.
Among other presidential decrees, the revocation of the permit for the construction of the Keystone pipeline, the end of the ban on immigration from some Muslim-majority countries and the revocation of Trump's emergency declaration to direct resources for the construction of the wall to the border with Mexico.
"Trump wrote me a very generous letter"
Donald Trump "wrote me a very generous letter," the president later said.
"Since it's a private letter, I won't talk about it until I've talked to him," he added.
