Joe Biden plans to sign dozens of executive orders and send sweeping bills to Congress in his first days in office, aiming to roll back some of Trump’s signature policies while taking action to ramp up the government’s response to the pandemic https://reut.rs/2LDj0Xa 
Here is a list of what to expect, according to interviews with several of Biden’s advisers, a review of campaign promises and a recent memo by the president-elect’s incoming chief of staff Ron Klain 👇
1️⃣ COVID-19 crisis:

➖ Seek a $1.9 trillion spending proposal aimed at accelerating the distribution of coronavirus vaccines while providing economic relief to millions of Americans hurt by the pandemic
➖ Impose a mask-wearing requirement on all federal property, planes and buses

➖ Extend relief on federal student loan payments and extend an eviction moratorium
➖ Return the United States to the @WHO. Trump withdrew from the agency, saying it failed to properly oversee the COVID-19 pandemic
2️⃣ The climate:

➖ Bring the United States back into the Paris Climate Agreement, the global pact forged five years ago among nearly 200 nations to avoid the worst impacts of climate change
➖ Reimpose methane pollution limits for new and existing oil and gas operations repealed by Trump

➖ Using the federal government procurement system – which spends $500 billion every year – to make facilities more reliant on clean energy and purchase zero-emissions vehicles
➖ Ban new oil and gas permitting on public lands and waters, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and cancel the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would carry oil from Canada to the United States
3️⃣ Immigration:

➖ Repeal the ban on almost all travel from some Muslim-majority countries and send to Congress a sweeping immigration bill that could legalize millions of immigrants living in the United States without legal permission
➖ Reinstate the program allowing 'Dreamers,' people who were brought to the United States illegally as children, to remain in the country and reverse Trump’s policy that separated immigrant parents from their children at the border
➖ End Trump’s National Emergency declaration that allowed him to shift federal funds from the Department of Defense to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico
