In his first day on the job, President Joe Biden signed off on 17 executive orders. One of the orders calls for a review of former President Donald Trump’s environmental regulations. That includes the changes made to the Waters of the U.S. Rule. A new immigration bill is also on its way to Congress.
In a Red River Farm Network interview, Pro Farmer Policy Analyst Jim Wiesemeyer said President Biden’s first issue will be getting the COVID-19 vaccine distributed and implemented. Once the economy gets back into place, Wiesemeyer thinks Biden will address climate change. Immigration policy will also be top-of-mind and eventually, there will be tax increases. There is also another chance at improving infrastructure, including rural broadband.
