Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, along with the impeachment of Donald Trump, herald a very complicated week in the United States. Not only is that country the home of more than a million Dominicans, but it is also our primary trade partner and strategic ally.
The Democrats are coming to power, and Biden’s intention is to provide a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus. Also, according to the new president’s statements, he plans to begin his presidency with executive orders that will not require Congress’ approval. He will reform health care and immigration controls. Thus will be closed a period that ended in the worst possible way — with an assault on the nation’s Capitol building by a group of citizen marauders, which resulted in the deaths of five people: an unheard-of event in the history of the United States’ democracy.
“America United” is the slogan that the future present has chosen for his inauguration, where he will predictably be accompanied by former presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Ideally, for all of the Americas, the day will pass normally.
Una investidura, el 20 de enero, y el anunciado juicio político a Donald Trump presagian una semana muy complicada en Estados Unidos. No sólo el hogar de más de un millón de dominicanos, sino el principal aliado comercial y principal socio estratégico del país.
Llegan de nuevo al Gobierno los demócratas con la intención del nuevo presidente, Joe Biden, de lanzar un estímulo económico de 1.9 billones de dólares. Y el propósito, según declaraciones de un senador demócrata, de comenzar a gobernar lanzando unos decretos que no necesitarán la aprobación del Congreso. Hará reformas en el sistema de salud y en los controles a la inmigración. Se cierra así un período que terminó de la peor manera posible, con el asalto al Capitolio de un grupo de vándalos y la muerte de cuatro personas, en un hecho insólito en la democracia estadounidense.
“Estados Unidos unido” es el lema elegido por el futuro presidente para su investidura, en la que previsiblemente estará acompañado de Obama, Clinton y Bush. Lo deseable, para el continente, es que todo transcurra con normalidad.

Contempt for him is so great that, in this country, Trump is conceded little, and his successes are ignored. One of them is the peace plan for the Gaza Strip.
