Mexico welcomes new US President Joe Biden's decision to stop building a wall on the border of the two countries. So one of the first decisions of a politician as president was commented on Twitter by Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard.
The minister also approved the decision of the Biden administration to strengthen the DACA program, which protects against deportation from the United States of migrants who entered the country as children. “As Mexican President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador wrote to current US President Joe Biden several years ago, bridges open the way for cooperation and mutual understanding,” Ebrard said.
On his first day in office, Biden signed a series of executive orders overturning the previous administration's decision. In particular, he stopped the construction of a wall on the southern border, a promise to create which was key to the campaign of the former head of the White House, Donald Trump. Biden also suspended the deportation of illegal migrants for the next 100 days and lifted Trump's ban on citizens of some Muslim countries from entering the country.
Biden was inaugurated on January 20, he became the 46th President of the United States. The ceremony was attended by outgoing Vice President Mike Pence. Trump ignored the ceremony, breaking a 150-year tradition, and left Washington a few hours before the celebrations. From the capital, he went to his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. Before that, he said goodbye to his supporters and promised to return “in one form or another.”
