In his inauguration speech as the 46th president of the United States on Wednesday, Joe Biden vowed to tackle the unprecedented challenges from the raging novel coronavirus and growing inequality to the climate crisis and US global role.
He appealed for national unity in a sharply divided nation and said there is "much to repair, much to restore, much to heal, much to build and much to gain". He also urged Americans to set aside politics and face the pandemic as one nation and suggested people should show a little tolerance and humility and stand in the other person's shoes.
