As Biden assumed control of the Oval Office, his first steps as POTUS was ransacking some of the unconstitutional and irrelevant decisions taken by the outgoing President. “We are going to combat the environmental crisis as it had never been done” stated the new President as he signed up the nation for the 2015 Paris climate Accords which was even backed by the ex-President Barrack Obama and then-Vice President Biden.
Jen Psaki, the spokeswoman to President Biden addressing the media announced that the first foreign leader by the new President would be the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about the Keystone XL pipeline between Canada and United States.

President also ceased the exit of the United States from the World Health Organization and also lifted the ban of immigrants from several Muslim-dominated countries. “Democracy is fragile, democracy is precious and right now democracy has prevailed.
We must put an end to this uncivil war that has torn the nation apart, that has brought the red against the blue, the rural against the urban and the liberals against the conservatives” stated the President in an attempt to remind the nation of the true American spirit.
Targeting Trump who broke a 152-year-old tradition of the US president’s inauguration by abstaining from the ceremony, confronted his actions which lead to the embarrassing riot on the Capitol Building and the march organized by Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville.
Referring to these incidents as a threat to democracy and the rise of domestic terrorism and political extremism, he asserted that the nation must confront and put an end to it.
