SQUAWK BOX, THURSDAY 21ST JANUARY, 2021

Joe Biden is sworn in as the 46th President of the United States, putting unity at the heart of his inaugural address. The new commander-in-chief immediately signed 17 executive orders upon entering the White House, some of which reversed Trump-era policies, such as the Paris Climate Agreement and the Muslim travel ban. U.S. equity markets cheered the inauguration, bouncing to fresh highs, but they were also buoyed by a slew of positive quarterly corporate earnings. European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen tells CNBC that the EU and the U.S. are on the same page in the need for tech regulation, which will be a key area in U.S.-EU relations moving forward.
