Biden's Historic Amazon Visit Highlights Unyielding Climate Agenda
President Joe Biden became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the Amazon rainforest, emphasizing the importance of combating climate change. During his visit to Manaus, Brazil, Biden took an aerial tour of the rainforest, visited the Museu da Amazônia, and announced an additional $50 million contribution to the Amazon Fund. His trip highlighted his administration's climate agenda, which contrasts sharply with the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, who has expressed skepticism about climate change and plans to shift federal policy away from addressing it.
