By his third day, he had issued measures such as rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, dissolving the state of national emergency at the Mexican border, directing the government to rejoin the World Health Organization, and requiring federal employees to wear face masks.
In terms of foreign policy, Biden re-entered the United States into the Paris Climate Agreement. He finished the departure of US soldiers from Afghanistan, which coincided with the collapse of the Afghan government and the Taliban’s takeover of power.
