Biden to visit Brazilian Amazon as U.S. climate policy faces shift under Trump
President Joe Biden will visit the Brazilian Amazon later this month, marking the first time a sitting U.S. president has done so. The trip to Manaus is part of his South American tour from November 14 to 19. Biden's visit aims to engage with local leaders on preserving the Amazon, which is crucial for combating climate change. This comes as President-elect Donald Trump is expected to shift U.S. climate policy significantly, moving away from Biden's approach. Trump has previously dismissed climate change and plans to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Lula, Brazil's president, has expressed support for Biden and emphasized the importance of collaboration on climate issues.
