He then proceeded to cancel the permit to the Keystone XL pipeline, a huge pipeline that would transfer oil between the U.S. and Canada. Many environmentalists believe that the Keystone XL pipeline would have endangered many species and helped accelerate global warming. Funding was also halted for the wall at the border in Mexico. He then attempts to repeal the travel ban from certain countries with a Muslim majority.

During this year’s Superbowl, the President and the First lady delivered a pre-recorded message thanking all essential workers for working through COVID.

The very next day, he pledged to donate 2 billion dollars to the WHO initiative called COVAX, which is devoted to finding a vaccine for COVID-19. On February 19th, President Biden attended the G7 summit for the first time as President. On that same day, the U.S officially rejoined the Paris agreement. He soon later reverted the citizenship test back to the questions from 2008, which are considerably easier than the previous questions. He then proceeded to repeal the ban on issuing green cards.
