Joe Biden will move to swiftly reverse some of Donald Trump’s most controversial policies with a slew of executive actions in the 10 days following his inauguration on Wednesday.
As Washington prepares for the most unorthodox inauguration in modern US history — with Mr Trump facing a Senate impeachment trial and the pandemic forcing a scaled-back event — Mr Biden is planning immediate actions to tackle the pandemic and other crises after he is sworn in.
Ron Klain, the incoming White House chief of staff, said Mr Biden would focus his inaugural address on a message of unity and the need to quickly implement policies to address the significant crises that the country faces.
