In Biden’s initial acts as the 46th US president, he signed 15 executive orders. These included a package to boost the federal response to the coronavirus crisis and orders reversing the Trump administration’s stance on climate change and immigration.

Covid relief package and vaccine rollout

Biden passed a $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill into law within two months of his appointment.

The emergency relief package funds vaccinations and support struggling families and communities.

The twofold plan focuses on overcoming the Covid health crisis and then investing in American jobs to promote economic recovery.

It includes funding to provide direct economic relief, safely reopen schools and mount a national vaccination program.

More than half of adults in the United States have received at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose and the country has surpassed 200 million administered doses.

The US also rejoined the World Health Organisation, with Dr. Anthony Fauci as the head of delegation.

Dr. Fauci is the top infectious disease expert in the US.

Racial Justice

Biden signed four executive actions to advance racial equity.

He directed the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to redress discriminatory federal housing policies.

He also signed an Executive Order to end the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) use of private prisons.

This comes after former police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted for the murder of Georgia Floyd.

President Biden said the verdict was a ‘giant step towards justice in America’, but added there is still work to be done to dismantle systemic racism in the country.

‘It was a murder in the full light of day and it ripped the blinders off the whole world to see,’ he said, before declaring that systemic racism is ‘a stain on our nation’s soul’.

Climate Crisis

The president also signed executive orders to rejoin the Paris climate agreement, pledging to bring down the rate of global heating to 1.5C by 2030.

Biden also reviewed a number of Trump-era rollbacks, including revoking the pipeline for TC Energy Corp.’s controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline.

A recent global summit hosted by the US opened with the president’s climate pledge.

The US pledged to cut in half the amount of climate-wrecking coal and petroleum fumes it is pumping out.

Iran buries nuclear site entrances amid rising tensions with the U.S.

Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.

The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.

The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.

Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.

Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
