Joe Biden

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Friday he would use every power he has as president to fulfill his pledge to fight global warming.

The remarks, delivered during a visit to Saudi Arabia, came after powerful Democratic Senator Joe Manchin said on Thursday he would not support a Democratic proposal for new climate change spending and higher taxes for corporations and wealthier Americans.
