'The United States is back at the table': After Trump's four-year hiatus, Biden officials plan show
After four years under the Trump administration, when the world’s largest economy walked away from the Paris climate accord and was virtually invisible at international climate talks, the Biden administration plans to show up in force in Glasgow, as COP26 swings into gear.
“This is the decisive decade,” President Biden said in remarks to fellow world leaders as the climate summit opened Monday.
Biden is spending the next two days in Scotland working to reestablish the United States as a leader on climate issues, after the government abandoned efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions during the Trump years. The vast majority of Biden’s Cabinet members also made the trip, along with a sizable delegation of career officials.
“The United States is back at the table,” the president’s top domestic climate adviser, Gina McCarthy, told reporters in a call Sunday afternoon. “We’re back hoping to rally the world to tackle the climate crisis, and we’re going to bring back jobs and economic prosperity to our workers and our families in the United States.”
