It has also been reported by US media that Mr Biden is planning on reversing several of Trump’s policies as soon as he arrives in office this week.

Mr Biden is said to be planning on issuing decrees to reverse President Trump’s travel bans and re-join the Paris climate accord on his first day.

The president-elect is also expected to focus on reuniting families separated at the US-Mexico border, and to issue rules on Covid-19 and mask-wearing.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will take the oath to make them officially US president and vice-president, but the event will be scaled back, due to Covid and the recent riots.
