Our hopes are high up again with expectations from the new government, will campaign promises be fulfilled? Or are we about to get something again that we didn't bargain for?
With the inauguration of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. as the 46th president of the United States, what is to be expected in the economic world?
I may be wrong, but I don't see how Biden would be worse than his predecessor, or the two before him - because some things are really hard to beat no matter how hard someone tries. For those who don't know, Biden is only the second Catholic president in American history after John F. Kennedy who receive a bullet instead of the end of his term - and some say Biden should be careful not to end up the same as him, which is more than a smart warning given the behavior of those who voted for his opponent.
The first moves that Biden made clearly show that he will try to fix all the crazy things that have happened in the past 4 years, and most of the world welcomes it with great enthusiasm. What the atmosphere was like in the EU during Donald Trump's stay in the White House is best illustrated by what European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in her speech a few hours before inauguration.
“This new dawn in America is the moment we’ve been awaiting for so long,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said, hailing Biden’s arrival as “resounding proof that, once again after four long years, Europe has a friend in the White House.”
“The United States are back, and Europe stands ready to reconnect with an old and trusted partner to breathe new life into our cherished alliance,” she told EU lawmakers, hours before Biden was to be sworn in at his inauguration ceremony in Washington.
