Biden to sign 17 executive actions, orders to reverse Trump policies, restore Obama-era programs on first day

President-elect Joe Biden will sign 17 executive actions and orders in the first hours of his presidency on Wednesday.

Biden is expected to sign the executive actions from the Oval Office on Wednesday afternoon after the inauguration, which is set to lay out a "forward-looking" vision for his presidency. "The Biden administration is going to have a very different approach to regional migration." The Biden team will put "racial justice and equity at the center of our agenda." "He wants to roll up his sleeves and get to work as quickly as possible," incoming White House press secretary Jen Psaki said, adding that some of that work will be to overturn the actions of his predecessor, President Trump, to fulfill Biden's goals of "moving the country forward." In his first actions as president, Biden is set to roll back and reverse a number of Trump’s policies and directives.
