바이든 "최우선 과제는 코로나"...트럼프와 확연히 다른 정책
Barring a successful legal challenge from President Trump,... come January 20th next year,.. the United States will have a new president.
It's expected that Joe Biden's biggest task will be the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lee Seung-jae takes a look at the tasks Biden will face in the coming years.
Days after the polls closed,... Democrat candidate Joe Biden took some major battleground states last minute,... to win the election.
The soon-to-be 46th president of the United States will be sworn in on January 20th, 2021.
But what are the major challenges facing him when he assumes office?
"I will spare no effort - none - or any commitment, to turn around this pandemic."
As promised during his campaign,... Biden revealed plans to name a group of leading scientists and experts as "transition advisers" to help formulate a blueprint to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biden says the plan will be "built on bedrock science",... as he promised to spare no effort to turn the pandemic around.
"On Monday, I will name a group of leading scientists and experts as transition advisers to help take the Biden-Harris COVID plan and convert it into an action blueprint that will start on January the 20th, 2021."
Biden's aides are planning their first critical transition decision to focus on the pandemic,... as they have so far assembled an internal group of roughly two dozen health policy and technology experts.
The committee will look at the development and delivery of a vaccine,... improving health data, securing supply chains, among other key issues.
Watchers say Biden's blueprint is clearly different from that of Trump,... who often refused to take the advice of scientists and experts,... including Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
The U.S. has seen three straight days of 100-thousand single day cases,... with more than 126-thousand cases reported last Friday,... the highest one-day tally yet.
With over 10-million infections and 243-thousand deaths,... it'll soon be up to Biden to take on the task of containing the virus.
