2:43Now PlayingJoe Biden is seeking to wipe away Donald Trump’s fingerprints from U.S. policy, but his predecessor left lasting partisan divisions in Washington that pose a risk to getting the new president’s agenda through Congress. FULL STORY
PARIS AGREEMENT: President Biden made several initial moves to restore efforts by the Obama administration to combat climate change, including re-joining the Paris accord. That deal, negotiated while Biden was vice president, requires countries to create emissions targets with the goal of keeping global average temperatures less than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
WORLD HEALTH ORG: Biden also plans to immediately rejoin the World Health Organization, which Trump exited in May, saying China exerted too much pressure on the agency.
