Biden signs executive orders on Day one

Following Biden’s moves, The New York Times reported that “his first actions in office were aimed not at compromise and cooperation with his adversaries, but instead suggested a determination to quickly erase much of the Trump agenda.”

Yet, as most of the topics Biden covered are highly controversial in the country, such actions could leave the United States more divided, analysts said.

For instance, Biden signed an executive order to revoke the existing presidential permit for the controversial Keystone XL pipeline project, which would carry oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast.

Oil industry groups and Republicans in the United States opposed the move, arguing it would result in job losses and put energy security at risk. But environmental groups and Democrats praised Biden’s decision, arguing the Keystone XL project would worsen climate change.

Meanwhile, “these actions are divisive and destructive — and there’s far more to come,” Jessica Anderson, executive director of Heritage Action, a grassroots conservative organization, said when responding to Biden’s first executive actions after his inauguration.” As the Biden administration begins today, conservatives are prepared to fight back against the destructive policies of the far Left,” Anderson said.
