PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: And I guess, I shouldn't 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. This was the first thing I did when elected, and I see my friend nodding his head over there because we talked about this before while I was running.
