Issued on:
Joe Biden has been sworn in today as the 46th President of the United States, as has Kamala Harris become Vice-President, taking the reins of a country divided after four years of Donald Trump. Biden is expected to take a different approach to Donald Trump from day 1, after a scaled-down inauguration ceremony. “Joe Biden is the right person and do not overreact”, says Chuck Hagel, former US Secretary of Defence, who worked closely with Joe Biden although being Republican.
