According to Caixin, on December 16 (edited by Liu Rui), as Trump wins the presidential election in the USA, almost the entire world is focused on his governance plan. However, current President Biden is still prepared to organize his political legacy before handing over to Trump and plans to take action on land conservation, pardons, and AI issues in the last few weeks of his term.

The White House released a memorandum to allies, detailing the key areas Biden is prepared to tackle before the transition of power. However, it is worth noting that many of his measures may be immediately overturned by Trump after the transition.

Biden will focus on four key areas at the end of his term.

This memorandum was drafted by White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt. The memorandum states that the Biden administration will undertake a series of efforts in the last few weeks of his term to commemorate his legacy.

LaBolt pointed out that the Biden administration will release measures in the following four key areas next:

1. AI, but LaBolt did not specify the measures.

2. Provide new funding incentives through the 2022 Chips Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and state high-speed Internet Funds.

3. Regarding climate goals, the memorandum states that Biden will "continue to take action to protect our land and waters, and work with state, local, tribal, and business leaders to continue our climate goals."

4. New commutations and pardons. Labert did not elaborate, although the White House does not rule out the possibility of attempting to pardon these individuals before the Trump administration prosecutes Democratic leaders as a retaliatory effort.

Last week, Biden delivered a speech regarding his economic achievements and hosted a meeting on women's health. Additionally, the Biden administration's Environmental Protection Agency announced that it would provide $0.735 billion in incentives for clean energy Autos - an area that Trump may pivot towards in the future.

Labert also praised Biden's performance in office, stating that some of these efforts will take years to bear fruit.

Labert wrote, "A presidential term is not measured merely in weeks, months, or four years, but rather its effects are assessed over the coming years and decades... The seeds planted by President Biden and Vice President Harris over the past four years are beginning to sprout, and their potential will be fully unleashed for a long time to come."

Labert also highlighted the final agreement granting nearly $6.2 billion in subsidies to Micron, stating that this subsidy will promote the development of the USA's Semiconductors manufacturing industry and is expected to create thousands of jobs in factories in Idaho and New York.

Currently, Trump is preparing to issue a series of orders upon taking office, some of which may be released immediately on his first day in office. Among these orders, some may specifically target key elements of the Biden agenda.
