So Bad: Biden Offers Formal Apology to World Leaders for Trump-Era U.S. Withdrawal from Paris Accords

  • On Monday, President Joe Biden apologized for the US’s exiting the Paris climate accords while speaking during an event at a climate-change summit.
  • Biden’s administration rejoined the Paris accord in Feb. 2021, almost as soon as Biden had taken office.
  • “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,” said Biden.
