Inauguration Day marks the beginning of a new four-year presidential term in the United States. The American Chamber of Commerce to the EU (AmCham EU) congratulates President Biden and Vice-President Harris as they assume office today. The US domestic agenda will be a crucial priority for the Administration, tackling the global pandemic and its effects on the wellbeing of citizens and the economy.
