Joe Biden will remain busy in the first days of his presidency after voting on several immediate action orders while on the campaign trail.
Biden ‘s promises include mask orders, lifting the travel ban on predominantly Muslim countries, and urging the United States to return to the Paris Climate Agreement.
While on an ambitious plan, Biden plans to sign a handful of action orders on his first day in office, according to a memo from new chief of staff Ron Klain.
One of the governing orders Biden signs is a reversal of the travel ban, which initially affected people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen when it was implemented in January 2017.

The agreement signed in 2016 is a global commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and implement other environmentally conscious policies.

‘During the campaign, President Biden pledged to take immediate action to begin addressing these crises and build a better recovery,’ Klain wrote in a memo obtained by CNN.
‘As president, he will keep these promises and sign dozens of action orders, key memoranda, and instructions to cabinet organizations in fulfilling the promises he made.’

In addition to his many orders of action and policy priorities, Biden is also looking forward to his first overseas trip as president.
The Sunday Telegraph reports that Biden plans to make the United Kingdom the site of his first tour outside of North America, which would have been seen as an inspiration to Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
‘Joe’s idea is to have the fate of their world on their shoulders so that he wants to overcome any political differences,’ a friend of Biden told the Telegraph, about Biden’s previous opposition to Brexit .
UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab also hopes to visit Biden in Washington DC after his inauguration.
