Joe Biden plans to get straight to work on the first day of his presidency. He is slated to take 17 decisions that will reverse those taken by Donald Trump. These include revoking ban on travel to US from six Muslim-majority countries, rejoining the WHO and more. Here are the major decisions Biden plans to take.

On his first day as US President, Joe Biden will halt construction of a wall on US-Mexico border. Donald Trump had made border wall a prestige issue. It was his poll promise in 2016 US Elections that was widely panned as unnecessary, expensive and divisive.

Joe Biden will reverse Donald Trump's decisions to ease emissions and efficiency standards. He will rescind permission for Keystone XL pipeline. It is a large project that'll bring high-polluting Canadian oil in US.
