Biden apologizes for US withdrawing from Paris deal under Trump
By Morgan Chalfant - 11/01/21 01:08 PM EDT
President Biden on Monday apologized for the Trump administrations decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate accord, saying doing so set the world back in the fight against climate change.
I guess I shouldnt apologize, but I do apologize for the fact the United States in the last administration pulled out of the Paris accords and put us sort of behind the eight ball a little bit, Biden said during a session on action and solidarity at the United Nations climate conference in Glasgow.
Biden, who rejoined the Paris climate deal upon taking office in January, said that the U.S. was committed to meeting its goals to lower greenhouse gas emissions as he pleaded with other major economies to do their part.
The United States, if I have anything to do with it, will do our part, Biden said. Our success in my view hinges on our collective commitment to ramping up our momentum and strengthening our climate ambition.

I suppose because he didn't threaten the leaders of the world, he's a bad president.
